Wow, I am amazed by some of the GREAT suggestions that Wavers are making for this competition! And the enthusiasm, too! So I have a follow-up question - aside from all the requisite free copies of Final Draft and lifetime supply of brads, what kind of experience or item would you LIKE to see as a prize in a competition? I think the broadly outlined Grand Prize is clearly pretty darn cool - what about 2nd and 3rd place prizes?
2nd and 3rd place winner should definitely have their winning scripts shopped around Hollywood.
ReplyDeleteAlso, a luncheon with an A-list/B-list writer would be lovely.
1. Feedback

A script consultation on the script entered or another one down the road (like a gift certificate) - or like a package with logline, query letter, treatment, script notes... help along the whole process.

Hi Julie
ReplyDeletecan people living overseas enter, i.e. does the grand prize include an international flight or only a domestic one? (Pretty generous comp if the former!)
PS. my script in 5 words: "Boy searches for lost mother".
