Script competition

Have you got the X-Factor for storytelling?

The Junior Galway Film Fleadh, in association with SpunOut.ie, is delighted to announce their annual story pitch competition.

The competition is open to young people between the ages of 13 and 18. 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 the film Fleadh would advise you to 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
