Your screenplay can be about anything. It’s all about the quality of the writing and whether the writer has a distinct voice.

Our readers have read for the likes of: Lionsgate, Paramount, Universal, BBC, Vertigo Films, Working Title, Anchor Bay, and many others. Shore Scripts internal staff members also review the screenplays. Each submitted script is read twice.

Our winning scripts are chosen by our Judges and Shore Scripts staff.

Because we are looking to help upcoming screenwriters break in and establish themselves in the industry.

Previous prizes won in other screenwriting competitions do not count towards this total.

Our goal is to help emerging screenwriters break into the industry. Monetary prizes are really secondary to that. 150+ Award Winning Judges, Directors, Production Companies, Agents and Managers and have all signed up to read each year’s top submitted screenplays.

At any point during the competition, if we feel the script and time is right, we will send it with our full backing to a producer or production company who we have a relationship with. We always obtain prior consent from the writer before doing so.

The writer’s information will be passed onto the relevant party and all further correspondence will be made between them and the writer. This has happened with a number of writers who have entered. Check out our Success Stories.

The money helps the writer continue writing, but ultimately what every writer wants is to see their words spoken on screen.

The Short Film Fund was setup in order to further support writers with helping to build up their body of work. This could be as solely a writer or potentially writer/director.

One of 2013’s Shore Scripts Short Winner, Ben Cleary, won a Best Live Short Oscar for his film, Stutterer. We know there are many talented writer/directors out there, so we’re completely open to this.

However, we would want to chat with the writer and see their previous work before making a final decision.
