Stage 32, a television and feature film writing platform, with over 1.3 million global memberships, has launched a Global Screenwriting Contest Hub.
Announced by the Stage 32 CEO, Richard Botto, Deadline online magazine reports that the hub will bring together dozens of writing competitions from around the world into one place.
These include Oscar-qualifying HollyShorts Film Festival Screenplay Contest, BAFTA-qualifying Manchester Film Festival Screenplay Contest, PAGE International Screenwriting Awards, Palm Springs Diversity Screenplay Contest among others.
The hub comes post the anticipated shutdown of screenwriting website Coverfly, as the former executives of the website Geoffery Faugerolas, Mitch Lusas and Nate Witty will be the hub’s Chief Techology Officer and Engineer.
“For the 14 years, the Marketplace Stage 32 has helped thousands of films and television creatives get discovered and forge new careers. As a WGA screenwriter myself, I know firsthand the challenges of finding respectable and reputable screenwriting contests. The Global Screenwriting Contest Hub cuts out the noise and allows writers to not only find the most highly regarded contests, but also those that fit the genres they write in,” said Botto.
