ATTENTION ALL SCREENWRITERS! ARE YOU READY TO SHOWCASE YOUR TALENT ON A GLOBAL STAGE?
LOOK NO FURTHER THAN THE CHICAGO SCRIPT AWARDS, the premier IMDB-qualified competition that celebrates the finest screenwriters worldwide.
At CHICAGO SCRIPT AWARDS, we're not just searching for screenplays – we're hunting for masterpieces to offer to the world's independent film community. Directors, producers, investors, and productions alike are eagerly seeking scripts that captivate audiences with big ideas, unforgettable characters, gripping dialogue, and resonant themes.
But here's the secret: screenwriting is more than just storytelling. It's about branding. The best screenwriters have a distinct style or flair that sets them apart in the industry. Whether it's crafting complex characters, crafting intricate plots, or weaving dialogue that sings, our goal is to spotlight writers who excel in their chosen craft.
Chicago Script Awards is proud to be a part of the International Screenwriters´ Association, working tirelessly to elevate the profile of talented writers worldwide. By participating in our competition, writers have the chance to submit their feature scripts to categories that highlight their strengths. Each submission is meticulously reviewed by readers from top Hollywood talent agencies and management firms, providing invaluable feedback and exposure.
Previous winners of our competition were well-know screenwriters such as Henry Myers (United States), Stephen Delos Treacy (United States), Dewane Alexander (United States), Mike Patrick Johnson (United Kingdom), Jonathan Vickers (United Kingdom), Julien Poulter (United Kingdom), Melisa Mathis Raney (United States), Lynn Vincentnathan (United States), Ryan Costello (United States) and others.
In the dynamic world of film production, discovering new talent is paramount. That's why we've launched an innovative online screenwriter's pitch repository that provides a platform where screenwriters can pitch their work to film directors and producers looking for a compelling story.
We accept submissions through FilmFreeway.
