As part of its ongoing mission to encourage work in Science Fiction, Other Worlds Austin announces its first SciFi Screenwriting Contest to reward creativity in its earliest stages and encourage writers to keep working in the genre. The contest will run alongside the film component of the festival and will be sponsored by No BullScript
Consulting. In addition to feature scripts, OWA will also include a category for shorts and three teleplay categories: pilots, specs, and retro-specs.
The top feature and teleplay will win cash prizes of $500 and the best short will win $250. The best feature, teleplay, and short will also receive a Development Notes Phone Consultation with Danny Manus of No BullScript Consulting, a top 15 script consultant according to Creative Screenwriting.
To submit a screenplay to Other Worlds Austin, writers can go to OtherWorldsAustin.com/screenplays. They’ll find submission guidelines, rules, and a helpful FAQ.
Early Bird Discount Deadline: June 15, 2015
Features/Teleplays: $40 Shorts: $30
Unlike many such competitions, the Other Worlds Austin SciFi Screenwriting Competition Contest is not interested in the feasibility of production, but is instead simply a celebration of writing skill. In addition to prizes for the winners, written feedback will be provided to every entrant of the competition.
