In the over saturated screenplay competition landscape, The Inkwell Opportunity offers aspiring scribes the chance to secure guaranteed representation.

Our winner will be signed to an exclusive one year contract by Pipeline Entertainment, a production management firm with over 100 seasoned industry clients.

The winning screenplay will be developed, packaged and brought to town – perhaps even financed – by this shingle.

Our 2nd and 3rd place winners will receive detailed development notes and consideration for representation as well.

The Inkwell Opportunity wishes to congratulate this year’s winner, Lorinda Donovan for the
screenplay WASTELAND. Lorinda was offered a one year management contract with Pipeline Entertainment.

MARTIN EDEN by Jim Farina was awarded second place and GLORY DAYS by Michael Notarile won third place.

The second annual Inkwell Opportunity Competition is now underway with a deadline for entries of
December 15th, 2010.

**ALL SCRIPTS RECEIVED BY June 15th WILL RECEIVE COMPLIMENTARY COVERAGE.**

The competition is dedicated to providing a forum for the writer to display their talents. For the relationship between cinema and literature has always been closely intertwined. It has proved on the whole a successful symbiosis, a relationship that remains to this day as inextricable as it is fruitful.

The “event within the event”, celebrates writing as the interaction of a complex of processes-rhetorical, cognitive, social, and intuitive-that develop through social acquisition, formal training, and reflective practice.

This year the submissions are limited to only 1000!

- There are no limits on genre, subject matter, or origin of the writer.
- All stories must be either in English or Spanish
- The Oaxaca International Literature Competition is seeking short stories only.

A classic definition of a short story is that one should be able to read it in one sitting, a point most notably made by Edgar Allan Poe.
