If you have a script idea that's perfect for American TV or even the movies, then the Scriptapalooza semi-annual script competition is open for entries. It's a very US-centric contest, but entries are accepted from all over the world. There are actually two seperate contests - covering movie screenplays and TV scripts - with entries judged by an impressive selection of industry executives, including representatives from HBO, A Band Apart and The Samuel Goldwyn Company.

Your entry should be a completed screenplay, original TV pilot (half-hour or one-hour) or a 'spec script' for a current US show. The entry fee is US$50, and you could win up to US$10,000. The next closing date is 7th March.
