WA State Screenplay Competition

I’m pleased to finally announce that the 11th
Annual WA State Screenplay Competition will be co-sponsored and co-run
by the Northwest Film Forum and us,
the NWSG. The good thing is that being a member of either organization does
not, and I repeat, does not prevent you from entering in the competition.

You just have to meet one of the following requirements:
a) Written by a resident of Washington State
b) 50% set in Washington State,
c) Able to be filmed in Washington State.

My writing partner and I just finished the fourth (and I hope) final draft
of our screenplay, Happy Accident. We’ve been working on this for a long time,
having lived through our brutal page-one rewrite (our main character’s name
changed!), a significantly revamped third draft, and a polished fourth draft.
It’s out to our proofreaders to make sure we haven’t dangled any participles
or committed gerundic atrocities.

There’s nothing like finishing a screenplay, right?
Whether anybody likes it, options it, produces it, or uses it for toilet paper
(card stock title pages hurt), it’s an accomplishment in its own right. I applaude
anyone who has finished a screenplay, whether it be a short, a TV teleplay,
or feature.

On a related note, now that it’s (nearly) done, we can apply to some upcoming
screenplay competitions, along with the rest of you. Good luck.

Based on the screenplays I’ve read recently from some of our members,
I think those judges will be pleasantly suprised by those scripts coming
from Washington State.
