Expo Screenplay Competition:
An
Important Note About Deadlines And Extensions:
In the past, the Expo Screenplay
Competition managers posted deadlines, but regularly extended
them at the last
minute, at no increase in price.
This practice rewarded those
who were chronically late or knew how to
game the system. It effectively punished everyone who took
the deadlines
seriously and entered on time.
We have changed the system so that:
- You are taking a chance if you expect an
extension. They will not be done automatically.
- Late entry
carries the penalty of a
higher cost. We do so not simply to soak writers for extra money, but
as a teaching tool.
Screenwriting
doesn't always have deadlines, but some screenwriting (such as writing
for TV or rewriting a feature) usually does. Therefore, being
on
time is a professional discipline you need to develop
if you
are going to break in.
So please: submit on time.
Those who plan ahead or
burn
the midnight oil to enter on time will be rewarded by much
better prices and greater certainty. To view the deadlines
