II. The Contest.

A. Entry Requirements.

All checks must be payable to ScriptShark. Visa, MasterCard, and American express are also accepted. Contestant may submit as many scripts as they like under the following conditions: (1) Contestant must include a separate entry form for each submission; (2) Contestant must include a separate release form and Participation Agreement for each submission; and (3) an entry fee must accompany each screenplay.

B. Screenplay Format Requirements. Each submission must meet ALL of the "Screenplay Format Requirements" set forth below to be considered (a screenplay that meets all such requirements will be referred to as a "screenplay submission"):

*All submissions must be original screenplays (no adaptations) written in the English language.

*Personal information should only be included on the official Entry Form.

*All submissions must be between 70-140 pages in length.

*All pages must be numbered, and no writing is permitted on the spine of the script. *Contestants must bind their script securely using brads or Chicago screws if submitted in hardcopy.

*Courier is the industry standard font style and the font size should be 12 point.

*Miscellaneous items (ie, artwork, tapes, CDs, etc.) that are sometimes included to "accompany" the reader while reading the script are never looked at or listened to. Send only the script.

*The screenplay may be submitted hard-copy via the US Postal service, or electronically in Adobe Acrobat (.PDF) format, Final Draft (.FDR), Movie Magic Screenwriter (.SCR) or Microsoft Word (.doc) only through the Contest Site in the manner described on the Contest Site (do not send copies via fax, or any other means-they will not be accepted, and there will be NO EXCEPTIONS). Electronic files must end with the appropriate file extension, ".pdf", be viewable with the most recent versions of each file type, and must not exceed a file size of 750kb.

*The screenplay must be registered with, or, on the date the screenplay is submitted to the Contest, in the process of being registered with, the United States Copyright Office (see http://www.loc.gov/copyright/forms/).

Any Screenplay Contestant or Writing Team that is found to have submitted the same screenplay under multiple User Names or aliases will be disqualified from the Contest entirely. Any screenplay that fails to fulfill all of the Screenplay Submission Requirements may be disqualified from the Contest upon Promoter's discovery of such failure (if such failure is discovered upon submission, the applicable screenplay will not be accepted for processing and review, will not be deemed a Screenplay Submission, and will not be entered into the Contest).

Please note that no changes may be made to a Screenplay Submission after the end of the Entry Period - to be safe, a Contestant should make certain that his or her Screenplay Submission complies with these Official Rules before submitting it.
