What is the deadline?
The deadline for Spring 2011 submissions is June 21st, 2011
How will I know if my submission has been accepted?
You will be notified by email once your submission has been accepted and is ready to view on our site.
Can I enter more than once?
You can enter as many submissions in as many projects as you wish. Each entry requires a separate registration fee.
How much is the registration fee?
The registration fee for each submission is $7. This helps to cover Screenplay Challenge production costs, administrative costs, costs for production of DVDs, festival submissions, etc.
Will I get a refund if I don't win?
No. Registration fees are non-refundable.
How do I pay the registration fee?
You will be prompted to pay the entry fee at the end of the registration process. Currently, our only method of payment is PayPal. If you do not already have a PayPal account, you can sign up for one here.
Does my video have to be in HD?
Your submission does not have to be in HD. However, we recommend that your project be framed in a 16x9 aspect ratio, as this will be the aspect ratio of the final compilation.
What formats are acceptable?
You may shoot, edit and upload in any format that you are most comfortable with. If you are selected as a winner, we prefer final delivery of your finished product in either .avi or .wmv format.
How do I upload to Youtube or Vimeo?
My Youtube account won’t let me upload videos which are longer than 15 minutes.
Don’t worry. If necessary, you can split your submission into two (or more) segments and upload them separately. You will only need to pay one submission fee.
Should I use music & credits?
You can use music, credits, sound effects…anything that you feel will enhance your presentation. However; if your submission is chosen as a winner, you will need to provide a copy of your project WITHOUT CREDITS. Credits for all participants will be included at the beginning and end of the final compilation.
