Written or video submissions accepted.

For written pitches:

-Must submit a full story synopsis in addition to a logline. This can range from a page in length to a full treatment--entirely up to you on how to best present your idea. We do not judge on format, we judge on the idea itself. Supplemental materials (illustrations, etc.) are allowed. The best format is usually comprised of a logline, a page-long summary, and any other comments on the originality of the premise.
-Do not send full-length screenplays--summaries ONLY. Pitches may be emailed direct or uploaded.
-Remove your name and contact information from the documents prior to submitting.
-Longer submissions are judged on the same criteria as short ones, so whatever length you think is best.

For video pitches:

-Submit a link to the video after registration through email. We prefer a private link on YouTube, Vimeo, or any other video hosting site, or your personal website. *include the password, if private
-Videos can be any length, but shorter is typically better.

General rules:

-Concept must be for a feature-length film (non-documentary).
-Script Pipeline will not share your idea with anyone unless you’re chosen as a winner or runner-up and give us explicit permission to do so.
-Previous Script Pipeline writers and former Great Idea contest entrants are welcome to submit, but material must not have been previously entered.
-Should go without saying, but the concept needs to be ORIGINAL and not based on an existing franchise or property, unless it's in the public domain. If the idea is in the public domain, it should have some sort of defining factor that takes a distinctive approach and clearly demonstrate how you plan to adapt.
