2009 SCREENPLAY AND TELEPLAY COMPETITIONS

"I just got my first ever script request from someone who said they had just gotten off the phone with you!  Many, many thanks for the promotion you do for your writers and all your hard work with the contest and the conference!"
Melisa Ford, 2008 Sci-Fi SemiFinalist for
The Hercynian Orchid

"The script competition at AFF is one of the top three most credible, honored and head-turning in the nation. While it is but one facet of the stellar AFF program … it also happens to consistently call out the best in the business, and deserves the respect it demands."
-Rachel Long and Brian Pittman, 2008 Finalists for
Caught Inside

This year's Screenplay Competition has two primary categories: Drama Category (Historical, Western, Drama, Family, Romance, Horror, Thriller, etc.) and/or Comedy Category (Dark, Satirical, Slapstick, and more).

Returning this year, entrants have the opportunity to have their script considered for the sponsored award and the Sci-Fi Award (fantasy, horror, science fiction, surrealism, myth/legend and fantastical storytelling). To be considered for either the Sponsored Award or Sci-Fi awards each screenplay had to first be entered in either the Drama or Comedy Category.

The Teleplay Competition includes both Drama and Sitcom categories and is open to any spec script for the currently airing network or cable television program.
