Most contests favor dramatic, serious, or off-the-wall scripts as contest winners...but what about the comedy, western, fantasy, or horror screenplay that just plain kicks ass? How do you compare a comedy to a space opera? Or a heart-warming family film to a slam-bang actioner?

The StoryPros Awards Screenplay Contest gives your genre script a fighting chance!

Scripts face off against each other in five categories:

• Action/Adventure/Thriller
• Comedy
• Drama
• Family/Teen/Animation
• Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Horror

Cash and/or Prizes will be awarded to the First through Third Place Winners in each of these categories as the best examples of these genres. And one screenplay will be chosen from all of the entries as the Grand Prize Winner.  That means you have 16 chances to become a winner!

$5,000 in cash prizes given to the winners!

The Grand Prize Winner and all five First Place Winners get guaranteed reads from:

• Elements Entertainment
• The Radmin Company
• Category 5 Entertainment

The Grand Prize winner also gets  a guaranteed read from Foremost Films.

Here are just a few of the preferred companies that have asked to be notified about the winning scripts:
