Meet the Judges
Four brilliant industry judges will participate in selecting the top scripts.
​
Writers, thank you for submitting!
​
Thank you to all the brilliant writers who submitted. Please do not be discouraged if your script was not chosen; it doesn't mean it wasn't funny or well-written. Bear in mind that all script calls are subjective, and that just because it wasn't a pick this year doesn't mean it won't be in the future. Keep writing.
Stay tuned for upcoming announcements; email to subscribe and follow on X or Instagram to receive updates.
Does your script need some help?
We want to support you in making it the best script it can be. The FPC Script Consultancy offers feedback and development support to take your script to the next level.
Working with FPC on your script does not guarantee its placement in our script calls. We depend on qualified external judges for their unbiased opinions.
