The screenplay should be in standard industry format (12 point Courier).

Only one copy, draft, or version of any screenplay may be submitted by an entrant or entrants per submission.

Under no circumstances will substitutions of either corrected pages or new drafts of an entry screenplay be allowed under the original submission without approval by the festival.

Features that are over 120 pages will not be accepted.

Entry fees will not be returned or adjusted.

Submissions must have been written originally in English; translations will not be accepted.

Submissions must be the original work of the entrant(s) and may not be based, in whole or in part, on any other fiction or nonfiction material, published or unpublished, produced or unproduced.

Entries may, however, be adapted from the entrant’s (or entrants’) original work, which should be noted in the logline required on the application form.

Entries lacking a logline in the application form may be disqualified at the festival’s discretion.

If the script is based on a true story, historical or contemporary, the “based on true story/events” should be noted in the logline.

Collaborative work by two writers who share equally in its creation is eligible.

The collaborator’s name must be added during the online application process.
