Writers Sought for LGBTQ Screenplay Contest

By  Gay Life

Have you ever come up with the most brilliant concept for a LGBT-centric film and began doodling plot devices on the back of a cocktail napkin? Well, here’s your chance to finally piece everything together and get that script into the right hands. The One In Ten Screenplay contest, the world’s largest LGBTQ screenplay competition, is currently seeking aspiring screenwriters for submissions for its 14th annual contest. Entries are now being accepted online through September 1 and are limited to the first 600 submissions.

 

Interested writers should go to OneInTenScreenplayContest.com for entry forms. Winners will be announced November 15. Prizes include cash, industry exposure, and merchandise. Last year’s winner was Dennis Shinner’s Barrio Boy.

Screenplays must be in English and between 90 and 125 pages in length and must contain at least one positive portrayal of an LGBTQ primary character.

Executive Producer David Jensen noted in a recent news release, “We receive entries from around the globe and Hollywood is taking notice in a very big way. Many of our past winners have had screenplays optioned, sold, and produced. Many others have gained major representation.”
