The 2005 Screenwriter's Challenge

Are you a screenwriter looking for a challenge and exposure? All aspiring—and competitive—screenwriters worldwide are invited to participate in the 2005 Screenwriter’s Challenge. Writers compete to see who can produce the best short screenplay (20 pages max.) on an assigned genre and subject in as little as 24 hours. The winning writers will receive over $7,000 in prizes along with valuable exposure, and of course, bragging rights.

Organized by NYC Midnight Movie Making Madness (NYC MMM) and sponsored by Writers Boot Camp, the 2005 Screenwriter’s Challenge consists of two rounds. In the preliminary round writers have one week, beginning July 22nd, 2005, to produce a short screenplay (20 pages max.) on a given genre—and at this moment, secret—subject. Those who advance to the second round to compete for the top prizes must write an original short screenplay in just 24 hours, from midnight to midnight, on September 2nd and 3rd, 2005.

Anyone may compete in the 2005 Screenwriter’s Challenge from anywhere in the world. The entry fee is $35US before July 7th, 2005 and goes up to $45US until the final entry deadline of July 21st, 2005. Space in the competition is limited and will be granted on a first come, first serve basis. To register or learn more about the 2005 Screenwriter’s Challenge, visit http://www.nycmidnight.com.

My screenwriter friend entered this last year, and I had a great time watching her pull her hair out while brainstorming like crazy. :lol:

I think she's entering again this year, too. :cool:
