Description

The BlueCat Screenplay Competition, now in its 27th year, is open for submissions for 2025.

BlueCat remains committed to the undiscovered writer and continues its tradition of providing written analysis on every script submitted.

BlueCat accepts features, shorts, and pilots and will award "$8,000 in cash prizes" in 2025, including the Fellini Award, which gives $2,000 to the best script written by an international writer.

BlueCat Screenplay Competition 2025 awards include:

  • The Feature Screenplay Winner will receive "$3,000".
  • The Short Script Winner will receive "$3,000".
  • The Fellini Award will be awarded to the Best Screenplay from any category (Feature or Short) of the 2025 Competition written by a screenwriter residing outside the USA and will receive "$2,000".

Founded in 1998 by WGA writer Gordy Hoffman, the BlueCat Screenplay Competition continues its mission of developing the undiscovered writer. BlueCat’s ​winners and finalists​ have gone on to sign with agencies including ICM, CAA, and WME, with their work sold to several major studios such as Paramount Pictures, Warner Bros., and Universal. BlueCat writers have won awards at Sundance, Berlin, and Tribeca all following their recognition with BlueCat.
