About

Script Summit was created to help more writers get signed, staffed, and produced. Our previous winners have been signed by talent managers, seen their scripts get produced, and have had their work pitched to production companies.

This is why Script Summit is listed as one of the Top 20 Biggest Screenwriting Contests in the world by the ScriptLab!

With our contest, you can even receive feedback from our professional readers.
