Once my material has been selected as a winner, what is the process that I am agreeing to by signing the application?
Our first priority is to help you with any needed editing, revisions or polishes prior to making any formal announcements in the magazine or trades about your win. Once we’ve addressed with you any reason a representative or producer may come back and say “No,” we move on to the next stage of the process, which is marketing. As one of the longest running competitions in the industry, our contact list of literary representatives from New York to Los Angeles is vast. And because we have maintained a record of discovering new talent that go on to become professional working writers, these representatives take our finalists seriously. Your screenplay or short may be requested by producers, agents or managers for their consideration throughout the year. You only have one shot at making a good impression. Another part of our process is disbursement of prizes. Once you’ve been selected as a winner, you will be asked to fill out a W-9 tax form, as we are required by law to report all winnings
