Do you accept episodic, TV or short film scripts?
No. We only accept feature length screenplays.

Do you accept muscials?
We do accept feature length screenplays that are musicals - however we are unable to accept music CDs and the like as a compliment of the script. In the end - the script must stand on its own.

Are scripts read in their entirety and what is the process?
All submissions are read in their entirety. We do not simply read the first few pages to see if it “grabs” us. It is the obligation of any competition to fully review its submissions. It is not their prerogative. We have a large group of readers all over the world that read for the Kairos Prize. All scripts are read a minimum of two times before any decision is made as to whether or not they will go to the next level. If a script moves forward it goes into our semi-final rounds and to our list of industry judges.

Do you accept hard copies of the script?
No. Due to the fact that our readers are all over the world - it is impossible for us to accept hard copies.

How do you match the script with the submission form given that you request that the script have no contact info on its title page?
We’ve never lost one yet. Simply put it is matched with the title on the submission form and each submission is then given an internal tracking number. It is important that no personal information is given to our judges as our judges are “blind.” Decisions are based on the merits of the submission....nothing more, nothing less.

Is there a limit to the number of entries I may submit?
No.

I may re-submit a script that I submitted a previous year?
Absolutely. If you have reworked your script and would like to submit the same title again - you are more than welcome to do so.
