Please check out Movie Poet. Each month, they run a free online five page screenplay contest. On the first of each month a new contest is announced. During that month, you can enter your script. During the next month, you can read, vote, and comment on all the entries. Finally, during the third month, the results are announced.

The goal of the site is to help writers improve their craft, celebrate our best work, and connect writers and their scripts with filmmakers.

The September contest theme has been announced. Scene in Reverse - Your story must be told backwards. Each new scene must occur in time before the previous scene and your script must contain at least three scenes. Head on over to Movie Poet and give it a go. - Don
