BLUECAT 2007 DEADLINE MARCH 1ST The BlueCat Screenplay Competition has grown to become the screenwriter's screenplay contest, where support extends to all writers, whether you win cash or the sharpest analysis offered by any competition in the world. Our entrants are not simply a pile of half-read braded paper. They are a community rallying their identities as writers, stopping, listening and looking for their space to grow. This foundation, these screenwriters, takes BlueCat beyond the contest. Entry fee $45. 80 – 145 pages. Any genre.

And this is not referring to the story with its gaping hole, the finale missing a payoff, the hit and miss humor, the flat title. I'm talking about freedom. The freedom to work as a screenwriter. Compensation for a home for family and a life. The resources to wake up and ply your craft and pay the freight, without obstacle. The chance to see your writing made into pictures, to work with the industry's best, to fulfill this goal of professional screenwriter. Hollywood success.

Coming from a person who runs one, your first reaction to this statement is most likely, “The only reason you’re saying that is you want me to enter yours.” Or more frankly, “You just want my money.” Well, coming from one who runs one, I’ll say you’re right. Sorta. I want you to enter any contest. If you are an unknown, amateur writer, one who’s had a taste of success, or even the millionaire living in hills of Silver Lake, your entry to a screenplay competition stirs a monster. And while I’m sure my partner in my competition would hate for me to saying this, you don’t even have to enter ours. Enter any contest. The more entries contests receive, the the louder the miracle in the picture business today. Does that sound crazy? Is it sane to enter screenplay contests? How do they help?
