The Filmmatic Short Screenplay Awards is a competition dedicated to identifying and promoting emerging screenwriters for short-form content, including screenplays, pilots, and webisodes. The competition aims to empower talented writers by offering prizes such as cash awards, industry memberships, and exposure through organized press. Entrants also receive an invitation to Filmmatic's annual networking event held during the Sundance Film Festival. Submissions are accepted in various formats, and writers retain all rights to their work.
