Below are some important formatting and submission instructions. Though your script will not be disqualified if it deviates from these standards, in order to maximize your chances of success, we strongly recommend that you follow these guidelines.

Scripts should be written in standard spec screenplay or teleplay format, set in 12-point Courier font.

Scripts should be standard length and pages should be numbered.

• Full-Length Features: 80-150 pages
• Short Film Scripts: under 45 pages
• TV Pilots One Hour Original Show: 55-75 pages
• Half Hour Original Program: 20-40 pages
• Documentary: 30-100 pages

Feature scripts that are a few pages longer or shorter than these recommended lengths will be accepted, but we do not accept scripts that exceed 155 pages.

Since our judging process is anonymous, please include ONLY the title of your script on your title page. If you like, you may also include your WGA registration number, but that is not required. When we receive your entry we will assign your script a number and our Judges will identify your screenplay solely by its title and script number. Under no circumstances should you include your name or contact information anywhere within the body of your script.
