Wise Words Writing Contest: Finalists Announced

The time has come!

Below, in alphabetical order, are the Top 30 TV and Top 30 Feature Finalists for Roadmap's 1st Annual "Wise Words" Writing Contest.

We received well over 2,000 submissions and the competition was super tight. If you didn't make it into the semis, don't fret! This is just one of many free opportunities we are planning to launch over the next few months. So stay tuned!

Remember, as with any contest, everything is subjective. We've known writers to place really high in one contest and not place at all in another.

The second annual Screenwriting Competition in Partnership with Route One Entertainment is underway! Click the image above for more information!

From the below Finalists our readers will request and read the entire script from each writer and choose the Grand Prize Winners to be announced in 3 weeks!
