• Submissions may be either a feature length
or a short film script; and will be judged by a distinguished
panel of industry professionals, educators, peers and
film fans.
• The Flickers LGBTQ Screenplay Prize winner's work will be used as a focal point during ScriptBiz™,
the annual screenplay pitch forum, with industry professionals.
