Benefits

The Grand Prize Winner of this competition will be accepted into Top Tier for FREE for an entire year!

And like all our competitions, we will do personalized outreach to execs of all the high-scoring scripts no matter where the script lands in the competition. This will help even more writers get their work in front of execs than ever before. This is not a giant email/booklet with a bunch of loglines sent to execs. It's individual personalized emails to execs we feel could be right for your particular project. 

Writer Success

When you submit a script to the Top Tier Competition you're joining an incredible network of screenwriters. The feedback was selfless, detailed & insightful. You'll receive free personalized pitching seminars. And if you become a Top Ten Finalist like me, your script will be seen by top-level industry execs.
