Not a competition, but the following site has got to be of interest to anyone writing film, TV and theatre
scripts. Take a look:
Open Spectrum
"Open Spectrum is a unique and free-to-join website
that provides the platform for Writers and Film-makers to converge, collaborate and produce. Its main aim is to provide
opportunities and help to film, television and theatre writers in the UK and therefore boost the UK film, television and theatre
industries.
The site operates on a peer reviewing system - writers upload their scripts to the site and then all members
review and rate the scripts to produce a Monthly Top Ten. Producers and film-makers then search through our filtered archives to
find the writers and scripts that they want. Not only does it provide previously rated scripts and writers, but it offers the
writer invaluable, impartial feedback on their work which will contribute to future drafts.
As a community, Open Spectrum is also designed to bring people in the industry together and as the UK Short
Film Industry, in particular, starts to gather momentum, we hope to be riding at the very forefront of that wave.
To celebrate the launch, Open Spectrum and all its services is completely free for a limited time and we want
as many as possible to reap the benefits of this free period. To try out the site for yourself please visit
www.theopenspectrum.co.uk and sign up for free. More details at: theopenspectrum.co.uk/ "
