This second annual competition seeks fresh voices in horror screenwriting – a genre with a proven international fan base and a long history of showcasing emerging talent. “I always look forward to discovering new voices and seeing where the next wave of writers is taking the genre,” said Paradigm Agency’s Scott Henderson.
Last year’s inaugural contest partnered with Kailey Marsh’s The Blood List, and the grand prize winner was Lichelli Lazar-Lea’s screenplay “Vera.”
The contest is operated by ScreenCraft, a media company dedicated to helping screenwriters and filmmakers master their craft and connect them with managers, agents and producers who need good scripts.
