The HollyShorts Screenwriting Competition is an annual contest that is part of the Academy Qualifying HollyShorts Film Festival. It showcases short screenplays, typically 30 pages or less, alongside television pilots and feature screenplays. The competition offers various prizes, including production deals for winning scripts, automatic screenings at future HollyShorts Film Festivals, distribution opportunities, and industry meetings. Quarter-finalists, semi-finalists, and finalists are often invited to attend the festival with an all-access pass.
