Frequently Asked
Questions, Answered.
Who can enter the Kairos Prize?
Any screenwriter with a completed feature-length script. There are two categories — one for new and beginning screenwriters, and one for established filmmakers — so writers at every stage have a place to compete.
What kind of scripts are you looking for?
Compelling, entertaining, spiritually uplifting screenplays with a redemptive worldview — stories that result in a greater love or understanding of God, and that a studio would genuinely want to produce.Who actually reads my script?
Real, professional Hollywood script readers. Every finalist script is then placed directly into the hands of top-level studio executives and production houses that are actively buying faith & values content.
Do I get feedback on my writing?
Yes. You receive actual, actionable feedback from Hollywood studios on how to make your script better — so even if you don't win, you leave a stronger writer.
Have Kairos scripts really been made into movies?
They have. The Kairos Prize has a proven track record of winning scripts being purchased and turned into released films by major studios and production houses.
What does the winner receive?
A grand prize valued at $40,000 — including VIP seats at the Movieguide® Awards Gala, airfare, accommodation, a VIP sunset cruise with Hollywood executives, spending money, and admission to Dr. Ted Baehr's "How to Succeed in Hollywood" class.
