Announcing the 2019 WeScreenplay TV Semifinalists

By October 2, 2019October 9th, 2019No Comments

The WeScreenplay TV Competition is dedicated to discover and expose new talent to the entertainment industry. This competition strives to provide industry exposure and support to television screenwriters who are looking to have their stories told. We have past winners signed and staffed.

We want to thank every entrant for submitting their work and congratulate everyone who already made it to the quarterfinals. All of the scripts at the quarterfinal level were so compelling — the judges had a tough time narrowing it down further. However, after additional reading, we were able to curate the top 84 scripts for the semifinalists.

A sincere congratulations to the writers who are advancing. Please make sure to congratulate these writers on the Facebook announcement and Twitter announcement — they deserve it!

And if you’d like alerts when this contest re-opens, sign up via Coverfly here.
