Your Story Deserves to Be Seen. Your Voice Deserves to Be Heard.
A great screenplay isn’t just meant to be read—it’s meant to inspire, to challenge, to captivate. The Creative Screenwriting Feature Competition is here to launch fresh, fearless screenwriters into the spotlight, giving powerful stories the platform they deserve.
We’re searching for bold storytellers, unforgettable characters, and scripts that demand attention—the kind that shake up the industry and leave a lasting mark. Finalists and winners will have their work shared directly with top agents, managers, producers, and executives who are looking for the next project—and the next writer—to champion.
Hollywood doesn’t wait for permission. Neither should you.
To support your journey, we’re awarding $5,000 in cash prizes to help you push forward. Each Finalist receives $250, with the Grand Prize winner earning $2,500, an option consideration by Creative Screenwriter Productions, and increased industry exposure.
We’re looking for 10 standout feature scripts across all genres—stories that challenge convention, elevate voices, and bring something new to the table.
Show the world what you’ve created. ✨
