NEW OPTION: Submit your short script that is 5 pages or less for only $10

Submit your SHORT Screenplay Today: http://www.wildsound.ca/shortscriptcontest.html

I was very impressed with the customer service at WILDsound. I had a question regarding my entry this year and I was contacted back immediately. I like that in a contest. Also, I was given feedback from WILDsound on my script and what I received was extremely helpful and detail oriented and it assisted me greatly in crafting my rewrite. The feedback from Wildsound strengthened my script to the point where it’s placing better in other contests as well.
