Overbrook Entertainment/Will Smith, James Lassiter and the ANA Alliance for Family Entertainment (AFE) are conducting a writing contest and would love to have our Scriptchat community participate!
“Search for America’s Newest Scriptwriter Contest” is being judged by Overbrook Entertainment, the award-winning
entertainment production company co-founded by two-time Academy Award nominee
Will Smith and acclaimed film producer James Lassiter. The AFE is a group of
leading national advertisers that brought to air some of the most popular family
shows on television, from Friday Night
Lights to Gilmore Girls.
It’s
FREE to enter… yep, you read that right… FREE! What
have you got to lose?
The
contest has two categories:
- 30-minute comedy
- 1-hour drama
Two
winners will win:
- $5,000
- A meeting with Overbrook Entertainment
- An opportunity to have their TV script further developed and an 18-month option agreement on their script
You
can learn more about the contest by visiting the contest website. If you need a bigger kick in the pants, take a look
at a short video where Will Smith and James Lassiter not only explain the contest, but also inspire you to face your fear and make it happen! The only way to succeed in life is to take action. You say you want to be a writer, then polish that script and throw your hat in the ring!
With the
incredible talent we have at Scriptchat, we’re confident one of you will rise
to the top and get the break you deserve. To learn about last year’s winner, read this post on The New York Times site. Your
name could be on the next one… someone has to win, why not YOU? But you won’t
win unless you enter.
Submit your script before the deadline on
March 21, 2013 at 1pm PT!
