WHAT WE DO AND DON'T ACCEPT

We do accept story ideas which can be turned into feature-length screenplays (which are usually about 90 minutes to two hours in length).  

We do not accept treatments for short films, sitcoms, TV continuing drama series or theatre or radio plays.  

This is NOT a UK-centred competition.  Your stories can be set anywhere in the universe and you may enter from anywhere in the world (previous winners have come from Australia, Bulgaria and Mongolia).  However, we only accept entries in English and French.

The Euroscript Screen Story Competition pursues Euroscript's vision to improve the quality of screenplays available for production.

HISTORY OF THE COMPETITION

The Euroscript Screen Story Competition was launched in 1994 under the auspices of the European Union’s Media II programme. 

Producers throughout Europe complained that European scripts were going into production too early.  

In part, this is because producers often do not have the funds to pay writers to develop their scripts adequately. It was to meet this need that the Euroscript Screen Story Competition was launched.
