2024 Short Film Scriptwriting Competition
Our annual award with a £1000 prize - Free to Enter
Brief: The Wedding Dress.
This year’s short film script competition gives you a LOT of scope for imagination, drama and creativity, we hope you enjoy it.
Brief: The Wedding Dress.
​
The set-up could not be simpler.
Your story will begin…at the end, with a beautiful (but maybe slightly worn-looking) wedding dress, hanging in the window of a charity store or junk shop.
​
You can think of that shot as the punchline or reveal or payoff.
​
Your job, in a script of 5 mins or less, will be to tell the story of how/why the dress ended up there.
​
The genre is entirely up to you - comedy, horror, sci-fi, rom-com, anything you like.
​
We just want to see that you can come up with an engaging/memorable story and tell it well.
Only rules?
​
We won’t consider any entry that looks clearly over 5 mins.
​
We won’t consider any submission that is not answering this particular brief.
​
We hope you’ll agree that’s fair.
​
Be imaginative, be creative, be on brief and have your scripts with us for judging by the 31st January 2025 at the latest.
The winner will receive £1000 and one of our sensational and beautifully designed iconic Black Shark head trophies.
​
Very best of luck, we look forward to receiving your submission.​​​
