Junior Galway Film Fleadh Script Competition. Call for Entries!!!
Have you got the X-Factor for Storytelling?The Junior Galway Film Fleadh, in association with SpunOut,(the web resource for young people) are delighted to announce their annual story pitch competition.
The competition is open to young people between the ages of 13 - 18 years old. If you are interested in competing, you are invited to write a short (500 word) idea for a story - that idea might be for a feature film, a short film, a documentary, a book or - even a video game!
Maybe the idea will grip the audience from the outset, maybe it will slowly intrigue, maybe the end will offer a surprise, or a twist that will floor the audience?
Interested? Then we would advise that you write a draft of your idea, and then practice to family and friends. Become comfortable relaying, even performing the story outline. Because, should your idea be one of the five shortlisted, you will be invited to present it on the stage of the Town Hall Theatre to the assembled audience during the festival which takes place 12th - 14th November 2008.
Each idea will be critiqued by the award winning Irish screenwriter, Christian O'Reilly (Inside I'm Dancing, On Home Ground), and following this, the assembled audience will vote on the best pitch/idea.
1st Prize: Script Training Scholarship at Galway Film Centre
Runner Up: Book Voucher from Charlie Byrne's Book Shop
The closing date - 24th October 2008. Post or email entries
