“Unveiling the Next Big Screenwriter: Discover the 2024 SYS Contest Champions and Their Groundbreaking Stories!”
What makes a screenplay truly resonate? It’s a question that haunts every aspiring writer as they scribble their ideas onto the blank pages. Each year, we see a captivating array of stories compete for acknowledgment, and this year’s screenplay contest was no exception! We gathered an impressive pool of talent, and I must say, the caliber of entries made our task of selecting winners a delightful yet daunting challenge. Sure, scoring screenplays can feel like comparing apples to oranges—or perhaps more like apples to—werewolves! Each script brings its own voice, its unique weight, and judging them is as subjective as it gets. So, with great enthusiasm, I’m thrilled to unveil the winners and finalists of this year’s contest. A huge round of applause is in order—congratulations to all! Curious about who took home the top honors? Click here to LEARN MORE.
We’re excited to announce the winners and finalists from this year’s screenplay contest. A big thank you to all the screenwriters who entered. There were lots of excellent screenplays this year making our work even harder trying to figure out which screenplay deserved the award. It’s never easy trying to apply objective criteria to something as subjective as screenwriting, but that’s what we must do. As a screenwriter myself, I want to really emphasize the fact that this is in no way a “best of” or that any script is “better” than any other. Our process involves a lot of people reading a lot of scripts. All the scripts entered this year were read by numerous first round readers, and the scripts that made it into the later rounds were all read by numerous industry judges and the results here today simply reflect the response from those first round readers and industry professionals.
