Our annual Hammond House Screenplay Competition attracts writers from around the world in search of recognition and valuable feedback. The winners receive a cash prize, and trailers for the first three places. Our 2019 competition, LEAVING, proved extremely popular, receiving entries from over twenty-five different countries.
The theme for the 2020 competition - SURVIVAL - is intended to be inspirational, not restrictive, so please feel free to interpret it in any way you choose. Be creative, be unpredictable, be different; the judges are looking for honesty and emotion.
