Get Your Script in Front of Industry Pros

The Scriptation Showcase is the screenwriting contest that circulates winners’ scripts to Hollywood directors, showrunners, and producers. 25 scripts get featured for one year in Scriptation, the Emmy® winning app used on film and TV productions.

Unrivaled Exposure

Best Screenplay Contest Spotlight

Never before has a screenwriting competition made your script so accessible to working industry professionals. The same directors, showrunners, and producers that make your favorite movies and shows now have an opportunity to discover your work.

Annotated Feedback

Best Screenplay Competition Annotate

Script coverage doesn’t give your story the complete story. Scriptation annotated feedback gives you PDF annotations on your script so you can see what the reader was thinking when they were thinking it. This is how screenplay competition feedback was meant to be.

Professional Readers

Best Screenwriting Contest Scriptation Showcase Directors Chair

Writer Founded

Best Screenwriting Contest Scriptation Showcase Writer
