If you did not upload your material: deliver your material to entry@scriptpipeline.com when you’re ready.
For those who added written feedback, keep in mind the development executive reviewing the script for notes is different than the exec reviewing the script for the contest, and the notes have no bearing on judging. Notes are emailed to the writer after judging ends, but may be sent earlier depending on volume. If you still wanted to add the reduced-rate notes, email us to request.
Winners and runners-up are announced December 15th, 2025. Writers are sent a notification email after each announcement, but please check the site for results in case you miss that update (note: unsubscribing will result in no longer receiving notifications and updates).
Details on awards, criteria, guidelines, and other FAQs can be found on the contest page.

The Script Pipeline Team
