There are tons of writing competitions out there and some are way better than others. I believe this is one of the good ones. It's well-run, the feedback I've received has been helpful and fair and PAGE always announces placements and winners on the days they promise to, something that's important to me. Some of the most prestigious competitions have recently struggled to do that. It's also a good competition because of the genre breakdowns -- dramas compete against dramas, comedies against comedies, etc. -- so it's a more level playing field, at least until that final grand prize level. I have had successes in this competition in the past and it led to read requests and manager inquiries and even helped me land my first manager. Of course, your mileage may vary, but I have had nothing with good experiences from the PAGE folks. The entry fees are pretty reasonable, too -- especially if you enter early.

Winning the 2021 PAGE Grand Prize wasn't only a tremendous honor, it was also an opportunity to interact with an exceptional team of people who are as kind and generous as they are successful. The organizers are outstandingly thoughtful, communicative, and genuinely committed to their participants, and their industry collaborators are truly remarkable as well. In my experience, the PAGE Award is an authentic and humanizing venue that champions creatives and their work.
