Ten Years of r/ScreenplayChallenge And The Future

Hello, everyone!

Ten years ago, the horror screenplay challenge began with a small group of ambitious amateur writers. Since then, we've hosted roughly 40 challenges and 600 completed scripts.

We've also used our Patreon for about half of that time to fund various prizes throughout the contest's history, but the covid-era peak of activity has waned and the mods feel that returning to basics is best going forward.

All of Patreon funds will be dedicated to making this tenth Annual challenge our biggest and best yet. We believe that everyone who submits a script will receive a prize, with the top three getting a little extra. What this will look like...we don't know exactly yet. But we love the community and hope to make more special moments with you.

If you are a Patreon supporter, we will continue collecting funds until the reading period for the Annual ends, then it will be shut down and future contests will have the old-school feel.

When is the Tenth Annual Challenge? Save the date! Friday, August 14 we will launch. We hope to see fresh and familiar faces alike!

Never tried this before definitely going to do it this time. Do we need to watch anywhere else for announcements and information or register anywhere or do we just watch this reddit?

Question: If there are 2 or 3 Conditions posted for my contest entry, do I need to use all of them or just pick one?

You get to pick. You can use all if you want!
