The Inspired Screenwriting Competition is a new approach to the script contest game with a focus on amplifying bold and unique new voices and taking on disrupting the status quo of the film industry.

We’re looking for feature-length screenplays that stand out, break the mold, and connect with audiences in unforgettable ways.

The Inspired Screenwriting Competition was founded by experienced filmmakers and screenwriters who have had a long history in this business. Frustrated with what felt like a decrease in opportunities for newcomers and unique voices and an increase in the amount of organizations that were happy to take an entry fee and offer nothing in return, we felt it was time to take matters into our own hands.

Our mission is to shake up the industry by changing the kinds of scripts that make it to the screen. We feel that now more than ever, the film business needs to embrace new talent telling authentic stories from unique perspectives.

As writers ourselves, we also hate it when people try to put us in a box. And we don’t want to put you in a box, either. That’s why we don’t have separate genre categories.

When you submit, we’ll be assessing your story on its own terms, rather than through the lens of a specific genre.

WE’RE LOOKING FOR THE STRONGEST VOICES IN
SCREENWRITING.

We believe that it’s only through showing who you are with your writing can you truly reach your audience in a meaningful way.

So, send us your best. Send us your personal. Send us the crazy out-there ideas that could have only come from (insert your name here).

Because, whether it’s a high concept comedy, historical drama, elevated horror or something in between (if anyone has that script, btw, def send it our way), if it came from you, we want to read it.

And when we do find that special script? That script that blows our minds?

WE ARE GONNA WANT TO TELL EVERYBODY.

So, use your voice and shout it from the rooftops because…

We’re listening.
