2002 WINNER TAKES MORE HONORS Why enter a small contest before a big one? Ask 2002 Applause winner Doug Hundley whose script Finn Again just won 1st prize (Adventure/Sci-Fi) in the 2004 American Accolades contest: "A lot of screenwriters limit themselves to entering only big contests. That's not necessarily the way to go. Many producers don't even want to hear from a writer unless he/she can list at least one contest win. One of my scripts recently made the top 40 in the Austin Heart of Film Competition. That's only semi-finalist status, and "gloating" about it may garner no more than a "ho-hum" from agents and producers. The same script came in first in the 2002 Applause Screenwriting Competition and took the contest's Gold Country/Lake Tahoe Regional Award. It just took first (Adventure/Sci-Fi) in the 2004 American Accolades Screenwriting Competition. It also landed in the Hall of Fame of Kevin Spacey's www.triggerstreet.com. Being able to point to such "firsts" when I contact people in the business is a big plus. Go ahead and enter the big competitions if you like, but don't overlook the reputable smaller contests that don't get quite as many entries. They may increase your chances of eventually making a sale." |
