$6,000 in Cash + Live Table Read + Consideration for Development 

An Unparalleled Table Read Experience
With a professional table read, the Grand Prize Winner will gain insight into their script from a working director and trained actors as it is rehearsed and performed, then showcased for an audience. This is how Oscar-winning writers tighten their story, sharpen their dialogue and fine tune pacing, character and other important elements of their latest projects. Past winners have been staffed, premiered at Cannes and been nominated for an Oscar among other successes. Six Genre Winners will receive $1000 cash each and meet with an exec from UTA, Gramercy Park, 120E Films, Circle of Confusion and more to be announced.

Consideration for Development
Our trusted partners at Legion M will read the top 4 scripts, and they may be considered for potential development. The winner of FilmScout will get a one-hour general meeting with Legion M Development Executives.
