Non-screenplays (ie. any material which is not a feature film, a TV drama or a TV comedy) cannot automatically progress to the Grand Final stage.
However, these shorter formats have their own categories and can win a category outright. Then, if a bible wins its format, for example, we will then reach out to the writer to request the full script. If the full accompanying TV script is available it will then be assessed as part of the overall package against the other finalists, to create the shortlist of three.
Likewise, you could enter with a pitch for a movie, win the pitch section of the contest, and then send us the corresponding feature script (if you’ve finished it, that is).
Ultimately only full screenplays and teleplays can progress to the Grand Final stage, but a pitch, bible, treatment or short could be used as a lily pad to this goal if the material is strong enough.
