SHORT SCREENPLAY CONTEST

Do you have the next great short film screenplay? 

​

The Cine Circle Screenplay Contest is an opportunity to help aspiring screenwriters to get their screenplays turned into films. We welcome unproduced short film screenplays with a maximum of 30 pages in length.

​

Over the last three years Cine Circle has run over 80 live and online filmmaker events including film festivals, pitching competitions, filmmakers fairs, workshops and networking events. Through this competition we want to give writers an opportunity to showcase their work and win a variety of amazing prizes to help bring their screenplays to life.

​

How does it work?

We have put together a group of experienced writers, directors, and producers who will be reading the screenplays and scoring them from a variety criteria. The 4 screenplays with the most points will move on to the second and final round. A second panel of judges will read those scripts and mark them based on the same grading criteria. The screenplay with the most points will then be announced the winner.

​

What are the grading criteria?

Each professional reader will fill out a Script Assessment Form for each screenplay that they read. Each screenplay will be graded based on the following criteria: Concept Originality, Story, Characters, Structure, Tone
