Below is a list of all the screenplays that made it into the second round of SYS’s Six Figure Screenplay Contest 2022.
A big congratulations to all the writers who had screenplays make it out of the first round. Congratulations!
Trying to grade something as subjective as screenwriting is not always easy, and we acknowledge that no process, including our own, is perfect. If you didn’t place as highly as you had hoped, get another opinion. It’s always possible we’ve overlooked a great screenplay.
We will be announcing the quarter finalists on September 19th, 2022.
