Our 15th annual Feature Contest opens today!

Over the past fifteen years, we’ve built an unparalleled network of industry relationships, resulting in millions of dollars in spec sales, hundreds of writers signed and introduced to representation, and multiple films produced.

As the only contest with a dedicated Writer Development Manager, we provide ongoing, structured support while connecting our writers to a network of 300+ industry professionals.

Our Winners & Finalists receive ongoing 1:1 support from Brandon, our Writer Development Manager.

Our development support is built around one goal: helping your screenplay succeed in the industry.

We carefully formulate a plan of action for every feature screenplay we send out. The result is focused, intentional circulation that puts your work in front of the right decision-makers, ensuring it reaches the people best positioned to move it forward.

We provide ongoing, tailored support as your career develops, offering guidance, strategic advice, and continued introductions to industry professionals. Our focus is on building lasting partnerships that help writers grow and sustain momentum over time.

Through our Feature contest, writers have gained representation, had their projects produced with A-list actors, and gone on to write for Blumhouse, Netflix, Paramount, Film4, NBC, Hulu, & many others.

After winning the Shore Scripts Feature Contest, THE ASSESSMENT (written by Mrs&Mr Thomas) was picked up by our Feature Contest judge, Oscar-nominated producer Stephen Woolley, who developed the project with FILM4.

Starring Alicia Vikander & Elizabeth Olsen, it sold to Amazon in a high seven-figure deal. It is now streaming on HULU.

"Winning Shore Scripts has been a wonderful and career changing experience. It’s opened doors we simply couldn’t have opened ourselves. Shore has shown us that the career
we’ve always wanted is possible."

- Mrs&Mr Thomas, writers of THE ASSESSMENT
