Hi, folks!

The Storm has hit. We're back, and we're bigger and badder than ever! This year we're over $22 GRAND in total prizes, including a $10,000 CASH grand prize. We are proud to partner with Writers Boot Camp, who are offering an astounding $4,500 in Creative Cash good towards any WBC program. The list of WBC grads who have gone on to the big-time is way too long to list here, so this is a truly cool opportunity. We've expanded our participating companies to over 140 and have some amazing new prizes all aimed at upping your game. Our goal is to have your script hit the executive's desk like a storm.

Writers on the Storm Screenplay Competition is hosted by Coverage Ink. We're all about empowering the writer, because we ARE writers. Yes, you read that right. A contest that's actually by writers, for writers. Our prizes are deliberately development-heavy because we believe knowledge is power. Both Coverage, Ink and Writers Boot Camp share the same philosophy. The more input you can get on your material, the more you develop your craft, the harder your script will rock.

We encourage everyone to embrace the development and feedback process, whether it's by submitting your script to CI for analysis, taking classes or seminars, working with industry friends or a writers group. I personally do all that stuff. It's all about the learning.

We're humbled and honored to bring back Writers on the Storm for year three, and I hope we can live up to all of your expectations. If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to contact us. We are honored to read your material. So lay it on us, brothers and sisters, and let your storm blow us away!
