An Important Note About
Deadlines and Extensions

(To enter, click at left or see the bottom of this page)


We have added to prizes and  extended the deadline for entry in the 2011 AAA Screenplay Contest to Midnight, March 14, 2011.

In doing so, we have raised the price of a script submission to $65 for entries after Feb. 27, 2011.

However, to soften the impact for those of you with more than one script to submit, we have implemented a discout system for additional scripts in the same submission.  See the amounts and details below.

In addition, we have added two prizes for comedy and horror features with prizes of $500 each.

Late entry carries the penalty of a higher cost for a number of reasons.  Late entries put stress on our contest management and make it necessary to seek additional judges to read late scripts.  In addition, the higher entry fee is intended to be a teaching tool.  

Screenwriting doesn't always have deadlines, but some screenwriting (such as writing for TV or rewriting a feature) usually does have strict deadlines.  Therefore, being on time is a professional discipline you need to develop if you are going to break in.
