Fiction Podcast Scriptwriting Contest | Final Deadline JAN 21st
In 2020, we launched our Fiction Podcast Contest and awarded two winning scripts $5,000 each to produce their pilot episodes.
Earlier this month, one of those pilots, FOOTLIGHTS: THE TRUE STORY OF OLIVIA MABEL, written by Ian McNeny and Martyn Eaden, wrapped their recording in Los Angeles. Footlights stars Ruby Modine (Happy Death Day, Shameless) and Jamie King (My Bloody Valentine, Sin City).
Just like last year, this year’s two winners will each receive $5,000 to produce their pilot episode, plus $1,000 Cash. Shore Scripts will help you find exceptional talent in terms of cast and crew. And when production is done, we'll be helping you pitch your pilot to podcast companies in an effort to get a full season greenlit.
All rights and IP remain with the writers and their teams.

Once the pilot is produced, we will seek to commission a full series for the winners by pitching the pilots to our connections in production companies and podcast platforms like Audible, Realm, Luminary, Spotify, and Wondery.
NOTE: The writers retain full IP over their work and will have the final say on the production process and whether to accept or reject any potential deal which may be offered.
