PHASE 2: SCREENPLAY OUTLINE (Open to Female Writers) In 500 characters or less, Screenplay Outlines should establish a story that could be expanded into a complete Screenplay, and ultimately a 5-10 minute short film. You will be required to select which character you’re featuring in your Screenplay Outline from a dropdown menu (if using more than one, please choose only one as the main character). Judges will determine the top 20 Screenplay Outlines. These 20 finalists will receive $500 each and write complete Screenplays in the next phase.

The Screenplay Proposal must focus on a Selected Character;
The Screenplay Proposal must be original, inventive, engaging and dynamic;
The Screenplay Proposal must provide a solid basis for a five (5) to ten (10) minute film;
