Meet the award-winning industry professionals reading your submissions. They will evaluate each script based on the strength of plot, characterization, format, originality, style, dialogue, pacing and current market potential.
Screenwriting is a business. And like top businesses, top screenwriters have a brand. To stand out in a crowded field, a writer’s unique style or talent should be well known and quickly associated with their work.
Whether it’s out-of-the-box concepting or dialing up the pacing, filmmakers need to know who to call on when a specific element is needed in their story.
The DIFF 2020 Screenplay Awards recognizes writers who specialize in a specific writing element and works to elevate their overall brand awareness. Plus, it allows writers five different chances to win by submitting to the category/categories for which they feel their script is best suited.
