Roadmap's flagship screenwriting competition provides consistent opportunities throughout the entire year for our winners, semifinalists, and beyond. We place a premium on creating industry relationships for these writers so they can get signed, staffed, or optioned!
In memory of Roadmap Writer Coletta Preacely-Garcia, we choose one diverse writer every month to participate in our Pitch Prep Program for FREE. At Roadmap, we want to do our part to help bring more diversity to the screen, and for us, that starts with the screenwriters.
In addition to an impressive roster of industry judges and industry mentor opportunities, our shorts competition is open to both scripted and filmed shorts. Previous competitions have included guaranteed signing prizes with management companies and development prizes with independent studios.
