Our Mission

The Gimme Credit International Screenplay Competition was created to provide exposure and development advice to as many writers as possible. We strive to bring new and unique voices to the table. In addition to the competition, we offer comprehensive script analysis from our website. Moreover, all previous short finalists and winners are invited to join our exclusive ScriptMatch network which matches scripts to qualified producers.

Recognizing a lack of distinct voices in the screenplays being produced, GSISC has now expanded the competition to finding brilliant feature scripts as well. We have a network of associates at production companies who are constantly on the lookout for the next great feature script. We hope to bring it to them. While we cannot make the promise of production for our features, we can promise to provide our winning writers’ scripts access to our qualified entertainment industry contacts and professional, honest development advice.

All writers receive feedback on their scripts following the announcement of the winners! Our unwavering commitment to helping writers succeed was the foundation for our complimentary feedback policy. The notes provide direction and guidance to our writers and serve as proof that your script has been read.

Finally, you said you wanted scripts separated by genre and we heard you. This year, for the first time, feature scripts will be judged in eight genre categories. They are: Comedy, Drama, Horror, Action, Family, Science Fiction, Musicals and Any Other Genre. Each category will have finalists (provided quality scripts are submitted in each genre). Then, four feature winners will be chosen from all of the finalists and will be submitted to production companies, agents and managers for consideration. In the short categories, four winners will be chosen and those winners will then be granted a one-year membership in our ScriptMatch network.

Thank you and good luck!
