Top 15 Finalists | 2020 Fiction Podcast Contest

HUGE CONGRATULATIONS!

WE ARE DELIGHTED TO ANNOUNCE THE TOP 15 FINALISTS OF OUR 2020 FICTION PODCAST CONTEST

https://www.shorescripts.com/2020_fiction_podcast_winners/

The scripts are now on their way to our Judges who will decide our two Winners.

Each Winner will be awarded a Production Fund of $5000, plus a Cash Prize of $1000.

The response to our inaugural Fiction Podcast Contest has been simply amazing. We received scripts from 5 Continents and in 11 genres; everything from Historical and Musical to Sci-Fi and Thrillers.

Inevitably, this has led to many excellent screenplays unfortunately not advancing this time around. If your screenplay is not on the list, please do not be too disheartened as that doesn't necessarily mean that your writing isn't strong or that your script won't do well in the future.

We would like to thank you once more for showing the courage and ambition to submit your work for consideration.

Persistence is key in screenwriting. Keep writing!

OUR WINNERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED ON MARCH 5TH.​

NEXT STEPS

As we move through development and into pre-production, we will be working with the writers to give feedback and suggestions. Any revisions will solely be written by the writers.

Once we are ready for production, we will leverage our industry roster and external contacts to assemble an immensely talented cast and crew.

Recording may take place in different locations. This allows us to pick from the very best talent from all over the world.

Once the Podcast episode is complete, we will gain exposure from the press, our 50K+ followers, our connections in the industry, podcast sites and forums, to bring about a huge amount of buzz for each show.

We will seek a full series commission for each podcast show by pitching the pilot episode to our connections at production companies, podcast platforms like Audible, Luminary, Spotify, Wondery, and other relevant companies.

NOTE: The writers retain full IP over their work and will have the final say on accepting or rejecting any potential deal which may be offered.

Keep an eye on our website & socials media for all the updates!
