SPRING - SUMMER 2008 CONTEST

ACCESS:
You'll Get Help Opening Doors

We’ve Added
More Access
We
get your story past the gatekeepers.
In the past, the AAA Screenplay Contest
offered one kind of access: scripts, loglines, and synopses went to 300+
producers, agents, and managers who want to see the works of contest winners.
This is a significant prize!
Creative Screenwriting enjoys a high
reputation with producers, agents, and managers. Our reputation, plus with the fact that entrants agree to the
contest waivers, and your achievement in winning or placing high in our
contest, all combine to allow us to “walk” your script past the studio,
production company, agent, and manager gatekeepers who block the entrance for
unsolicited scripts. Your story gets
read by staff at over 300 production companies, agents, and managers!
Granted, some (but not all) of those
who read scripts are lower-level staff.
But you need to understand how Hollywood works to understand that this
is more often than not a very good thing.
Most of the staff who take those lower-level jobs at production
companies and agencies are there for one purpose: to find that great script and
ride it to fame and fortune. To
“discover” someone – maybe you. To see the
list of companies which have agreed to view stories and loglines of the
top 10 and the complete scripts of the Grand Prize and Special Jury
winners, click here or scroll down.
But we’re also improving your chances
with more kinds of access:
Free Screenwriting Expo Admission And Free Pitch Tickets
The Golden Pitch Festival at the 2007
Screenwriting Expo was the biggest pitch festival ever held, with over 9,500
opportunities to pitch stories to 120 production executives, agents, and
managers face to face.
We plan a similar pitch festival at
this year’s Expo. And if you win,
you’re invited – free:
The
Grand Prize Winner receives a free Gold Pass (worth $399), five free pitch
tickets (tickets are normally $25 each), and front-of-the-line status to choose
available pitch tickets.
Tickets to the hottest production
companies sell out fast. Many writers
believe that getting first choice of access is even more valuable than the free
entrance and tickets.)
The
Special Jury Prize Winner receives a free Expo Basic Pass (worth $149), five free
pitch tickets, and front-of-the-line status to choose tickets.
The
Second- and Third-Place Winners each receive free Expo Basic Passes,
one free ticket, and front-of-the-line status.
Free Subscriptions To HollywoodbyPhone
HollywoodByPhone IS access. It is a new
subscription-based service – and an altogether new kind of access. Each week, you’ll have an opportunity to
participate in an interactive teleconference with a Hollywood insider. Many of these guests are producers. Some are agents, some are managers. Hollywoodbyphone is run by a screenwriter
management company and a screenwriting mentor.
Since it’s a new service, we can’t cite
its track record in helping writers make it in the business. But you will be on the phone with working
Hollywood insiders, giving you a chance to network and ask questions about how
to find your way in. What happens for
you from there depends on you. You’ll
learn a lot by just lurking on the phone.
You’ll learn by the osmosis of conversation what Hollywood people are
like and what it takes to be seen as an insider or someone with potential. But you’ll also have a chance to take part,
to get feedback, and to make connections.
The
Grand Prize Winner receives a free one-year subscription to Hollywoodbyphone,
which normally charges $47/month.
You’ll be able to dial in to all weekly conversations for an
entire year.
The
Special Jury Prize Winner also receives a free one-year subscription to
Hollywoodbyphone.
The
Second-Place Winner receives a six-month Hollywoodbyphone subscription.
The
Third-Place Winner receives a three-month Hollywoodbyphone subscription.
All
Entrants
can sign up for a free month of Hollywoodbyphone (four phone calls, a $47
value–more than the price of a contest entry.)
In summary, you receive all these kinds of access:
–
We get winning scripts, loglines, and synopses past the gatekeepers.
–
Winners receive free Expo passses and free tickets to the Golden Pitch;
the rest of the top 10 receive free Expo passes, which will save you the first $149 to pitch your stories live.
– Winners get a chance to chat with
Hollywood insiders weekly for up to a year at no charge.
