Screenplay Competition
Submit your feature, pilot, or short script now to receive written analysis.
Screenplays that have been submitted to any competition or contest prior to December 13th, 2018 are not eligible.
I have a screenplay that was written before this date. It has since been rewritten several times. Is it eligible to be entered in the Bluecat Screenplay Contest?
It’s eligible! Please refer to our rules and see if your work qualifies. 🙂
Is there a specific time I need to submit my script today? Pacific or central?
Pacific time!
Hello, I don’t understand why my script would have to be resubmitted after I’ve received the written comments? Is that only if it doesn’t make the grade or go through to the quarter finals….or beyond? If I receive written comments, does that mean my script has not been chosen as a finalist? I mean I wouldn’t be resubmitting after receiving a negative review….at least not until I’ve rewritten! Can you clarify this whole area please? Resubmission I’m assuming is another entry fee? I would like to enter before the 12th September, but will hold off pending your reply. Cheers
You do not need to resubmit. Your original submission is still under consideration for the competition. Resubmission involves a fee. If you received your analysis, please go back to the email and we explain resubmission and provide you a link with plenty of information. 🙂
