About
WeScreenplay's flagship feature contest, called one of the top screenwriting contests in the industry in 2017 by MovieBytes, offers two guaranteed reads, access to judges' scores, and over $20,000 in prizes awarded to winners. The winners also receive distribution to over 30 top producers and agents and mentorship from top players in Hollywood, such as Dave Green, director of Ninja Turtles 2, Juliet Berman, creative executive at Treehouse, and others.
Benefits
The jury and mentors for this year's WeScreenplay Feature Competition are top notch, starting with Le'Ander Nicholson, a Hollywood literary manager who signed last year's contest winner Kenlon Clark. Dave Green (TMNT 2, EARTH TO ECHO) will be the mentor for the 2017 season winner. The grand prize winner will take home $1,000 cash prize, plus development, software, and educational resources. The top three scripts will be distributed to WeScreenplay's network of managers and agents, and all finalists receive free entry to other WeScreenplay contests as well as happy hours to network with other top writers.

Writer Success
My writing partner and I wrote a feature historical drama script called JUMPMAN about the creator of Super Mario, Shigeru Miyamoto, and the historic rise of Nintendo, which was already making a big splash in the screenwriting contest world. After placing among the Top 10 Finalists of the 2021 WeScreenplay Feature Competition, WeScreenplay connected us with numerous management and production companies. As a result, we had the wonderful privilege of interviewing with several managers. In the end, Mike Diaz of ATN Entertainment left a strong impact on us and seemed to share our vision for our careers, with additional support from manager Ben Pitts and ATN CEO Jennifer Aurianne DaRe. Today, we are excited to say that we are now signed with ATN Entertainment!
