Horror writers... this one’s for you.
If you’ve ever felt like your genre gets overlooked in big-name competitions… you’re not wrong.
General contests tend to favor prestige drama, leaving horror and thriller scripts fighting an uphill battle, even when they’re incredible.
Genre-specific competitions were built to fix that.
They connect you with industry pros looking for the exact kind of story you tell: tense, terrifying, high-stakes, unforgettable.
Swipe through to see why your work might finally get the recognition it deserves, when it’s judged by the right people.

🎄 Family & Holiday writers, do your scripts keep getting overlooked?
You’re not alone.
These genres are massively in demand but often misunderstood by general competitions.
Family and holiday stories take serious skill to write. Balancing emotion, pacing, and tone for a wide audience is no small task.
Genre competitions connect you with people who value that craft and want stories that uplift, connect, and entertain.
Swipe through to see why entering your script in the right competition could be the turning point in your screenwriting career.
