European Script Competition deadline extended

Although the original deadline has arrived, we at Scriptbase had to conclude the prizes cannot be awarded to any users just yet. The reason is that there have been simply not enough voting going on on the site.  

The original call for submissions clearly stated that the basis of the prize is the voting activity by the users – whoever gets the most votes on their screenplay gets the cash prize. However, while the number of users on ScriptBase has risen since the start of the competition, the voting activity remains close to zero.  

With the introduction of the prizes we intended to encourage our users to give feedback on each others’ works, with the hope that some constructive dialogue begins among the screenwriters of Europe.  

We are still hoping that this online community begins to thrive, so we are extending the deadline of the script competition until the end of the year with the stipulation that any script to be considered for the prizes needs to get at least 10 votes.  

The rules remain the same: no one is allowed to vote on their own screenplay and only those votes count that have been made by a user who has actually downloaded the script he or she is voting on. We cannot check if the user has actually read the screenplay but we are still urging all our users to take the time and not only read each other’s submissions but give comments, advice and/or constructive criticism that may help their fellow writers to improve their skills. Commenting on a screenplay is an easy and straightforward process.  

The new deadline is midnight 31 December 2009 Central European Time.

Becoming a user on Scriptbase and uploading a screenplay remains completely free of charge.
