“Unveiling the Next Great Screenwriter: Discover the Winners of SYS’s High-Stakes 2024 Contest!”
Lights, camera, action! It’s that electrifying time of year again when creativity takes center stage as we unveil the winners of this year’s screenplay contest. With a mountain of submissions and a multitude of brilliant narratives vying for recognition, choosing the best is no small feat. But isn’t that the exciting—and sometimes maddening—part of the artistic journey? As a screenwriter who knows the hustle, I want to stress that this isn’t about denoting one script as superior to another; it’s about recognizing the diverse voices that make our industry vibrant! So, without further ado, let’s celebrate the extraordinary talents who have shone through this year. A heartfelt congratulations to our winners and finalists! 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.
