In the spirit of our commitment to the development of screenwriters worldwide, the BlueCat Screenplay Competition holds a longstanding tradition of giving written notes to every screenplay submitted.

Each Feature screenplay entered receives two analyses, while each Short screenplay receives one, with students receiving a special rate of $29 throughout the competition. All submissions will be eligible for Resubmission.

BlueCat prides itself in its leading reputation as a community for developing screenwriters, to support and develop the undiscovered, in all of us, today and days ahead.
