Red Planet Prize 2008
Red Planet Pictures, Tony Jordan's production company, have just announced their second annual writing competition.
The winner will receive: A £5,000 prize; Representation by a leading literary agency and a script commission from Red Planet Pictures.
Runners-up will have the opportunity to be mentored by the Red Planet team.
To enter, you need to send the first ten pages of a 60 minute pilot script with television series potential, together with a one-page outline about the series.
The first ten pages of a script are the most important. It's in those first ten pages that you have to grab your audience. The series outline should give us a flavour of your own unique voice as well as an idea of your vision for the series.
There are no guidelines or restrictions in terms of genre or subject.
The deadline for entries is September 30th 2008.
To find out more and enter, visit the Red Planet Pictures website:
The competition does not charge, but you must download an entry form from the website, print and post it. They also say; Should your entry be successful in the first round, we will contact you requesting the rest of the script - so have those next fifty or so pages ready to send!
