We will be announcing a call for entries on October 1, ______ and offer over $40,000 in cash and prizes, as well as enormous exposure and potential career-making development opportunities (To save $5 off the entry fee, click here).

What makes XYZ Script Festival unique in the competition arena is the quality and support it gives its winners and runners-up. For a full year they continue to work for these writers long after the prize money and software has been given, this includes arranging meetings, phone calls, and pushing all 13 scripts.

The priority is to get the writers recognition and their script read by production companies and literary representatives. Sometimes a script is requested 6 months after XYZ Script Festival announces its winners. That is the XYZ Script Festival difference.
