Below is a list of all the screenplays that made it into the second round of SYS’s Six Figure Screenplay Contest.
A big congratulations to all the writers who had screenplays make it out of the first round. Congratulations!
This is always the hardest part of the contest, trying to choose the winners from the losers. Please do know we take every submission seriously and every screenplay received at least two independent reads on it. As with most creative pursuits, the quality of a screenplay is always somewhat subjective, so if you didn’t place as highly as you had hoped I highly recommend getting a second opinion. It’s always possible we’ve overlooked a great screenplay.
We will be announcing the quarter finalists on October 11th, 2021.
