The Screenwriting Expo 2 Screenplay Competition received over
1,300 entries. With the addition of genre prizes for Action-Adventure/Thriller,
Family/Comedy/Animation and Horror/Sci-fi/Fantasy, we had a lot of thrills,
laughing aloud and getting freaked out. It was such a pleasure to read so many
fantastic screenplays. Congratulations to the winners and semifinalists listed below. Please
contact Jim Mercurio at expocompetition@aol.com for information about the contest
or to contact the winners.
“The Screenwriting Expo Competition gave me the amazing
opportunity to have Mike Medavoy not only read my winning screenplay, but also
attach himself as Executive Producer. Since winning the Expo, I have had
companies such as Endeavor, Radmin, and ICM request my work. My winning
screenplay has been optioned and I have a good chance of being hired to do a
rewrite on another project this spring. I know I would not have been able to
make these contacts if it were not for the Expo Competition. More than ever, I
am inspired to keep telling stories.” — 2003 Contest Winner Naida
