Our top 5 get read by Literary Management Companies, and our Finalists have signed with Managers and been optioned thanks to us! This year, it could be you!
"The Write LA competition helped give us the exposure we needed to create valuable connections in the industry. Few screenwriting competitions are worth your time, this is one of them. " - 2021 Winners Mads Gauger & Christan Leonard.
We partner with highly regarded Literary Management Companies who
read and consider our top 5.
We also help you become a stronger writer. Our finalists
receive a free copy of the latest Final Draft screenwriting software
thanks to our sponsor Final Draft.
Our fifteen semi finalists receive a free online class from Script Magazine and The Writer's Store, a free screenwriting book courtesy of Michael Wiese Productions, a free eco-friendly notebook and pen thanks to 'Decomposition' by Michael Rogers, and free written feedback from our co-founder and Head Judge, highly respected script coach, screenwriter and author Tim Schildberger.
Write LA was built by writers, for writers. We offer all the access, recognition and feedback we can, because we know how hard writing is, and we have tremendous respect for all your effort.
"Winning the 2022 Write LA competition offers the most valuable prize for any writer trying to break in: access. Write LA promised finalist scripts would be read by managers at reputable companies, and it delivered. This contest has led to several general meetings, and I am eternally grateful to Tim and the Write LA family for these connections."
- Andrea Turner - Write LA 2022 Grand Prize Winner
Write LA is open to writers around the world. Feature screenplays and TV pilots are accepted - any genre - and are judged together. We’re not looking for a particular genre or format – we’re looking for great writers.
