Premium

Cut to Black Prize is a small, curated, invitation-only competition for writers who value craft and real access. It is the only screenwriting contest in the industry that is genuinely invitation-only. One winner receives $10,000, a trip to Hollywood, and a producer meeting. If you were invited, you are in the right place to submit.

Craft Forward

We read fewer scripts so we can read deeper. Blind judging across all genres, one champion at the end. If you received an invitation, you may enter here: Enter Contest.

Access Oriented

This contest is about outcomes, not volume. One writer will receive $10,000, a trip to Hollywood, and time with a working producer. If you were invited, enter now. Codes expire and new requests are subject to availability.

Small Field

Enter now before we reach capacity. Once the quota is filled, submissions will close for this cycle. If you were invited, secure your spot today.
