Do you want the opening of your screenplay recorded and turned into a multi-voiced audio drama showcase? We’re the only screenplay competition that does this for ALL entries!
“Big thanks to London International Screenwriting Competition for the Semifinalist placement. Industry Professionals are already reaching out! Thanks.” LSC Semifinalist.
“What a great competition and so so valuable…I’ve already had a surge of new followers on Twitter…winning this has already helped me with spec emails and garnering more interest when networking.” LSC Winner.
NOTE: Written feedback and scores will be provided by the judges for ALL entries.
LSC has also partnered with a Senior Research Fellow in Artificial Intelligence and Creativity to provide 3 pages of notes (for a small extra fee) using a cutting-edged A.I. system, for your whole screenplay. Remember: multiple producers/studios are already experimenting with such systems to help them find the best scripts.
Just how do you get an agent, manager or producer in the competitive world of screenwriting? Two key methods are: (i) build a CV with screenwriting competition placements; (ii) provide a dramatised audio recording they can listen to in the car or on the subway!
“There is a lot of luck in this business, but there is plenty you can do to increase the possibilities of your luck, which is being in the right place at the right time, getting involved in competitions…” (Jean Kitson, agent, MBA)
“Screenwriting contests can be an excellent way for aspiring writers to gain recognition, network with industry professionals, and advance their careers.” (No Film School)
Entering the London International Screenwriting Competition is not only about the opportunity to add a win to your CV, but also an opportunity to get extensive feedback that can raise your script to the next level! All screenplays will be judged by professional readers or award-winning screenwriters.
For a slightly higher entry fee you can request 3 pages of notes on their whole screenplay produced by our Senior Research Fellow’s groundbreaking technology. (As already alluded to: multiple producers are experimenting with such A.I. systems to help them find the best scripts – so be ahead of the pack!)
Reminder: all entrants get a free recording of the dramatisation of their screenplay’s opening – what a calling card for your career!
