Live Screenplay Competition

The Play Press is pleased to announce a competition for the Best Unfilmed Screenplay. The prize is a professional, public rehearsed reading in a theatre venue in Wellington, followed by time with a script advisor to help you with your next draft, and if needed, professional advice.

While the primary aim is to encourage screenwriters and to present your screenplay as faithfully as possible, there is also a secret agenda - to introduce a new audience to the potential of the stage as a way to share ideas, and to discover new theatre writing talent. So should we feel any entries would also adapt well to the stage, we may be bringing you to the attention of Playmarket for advice ...

Deadline for submissions is January 31st 2009. All queries to – Live Screenplay Competition; stuff@playpress.co.nz.
