"Great discoveries and improvements invariably involve the cooperation of many minds." Alexander Graham Bell

Hi, and welcome to Cowrite.

Cowrite is redefining screenwriting competitions by creating an open source type contest in which the end goal, like that of all individual aspiring screenwriters, is to write a great screenplay and then try to sell it and get it produced.

The Cowrite screenplay will be written collaboratively over the next six months by aspiring screenwriters. Every other week the best 10-15 page script entry selected by the Cowrite judges will be added to the developing screenplay and posted on the Cowrite website until the script is complete. At that point, one of the eleven winning screenwriters will be selected to do a paid rewrite of the script. Once the rewrite is finished, the team at management/production company Benderspink will give it a read and decide how they want to proceed. Where the screenplay will end up and if it will sell is anyone’s guess. But that’s the challenge. And that’s what makes it special. We're all in this together, one big writing team trying to make a script sale and produce a Hollywood blockbuster.

The screenplay will be guided along by notes and general suggestions posted in The Producer's Blog and The Pro's Take. Feel free to adhere to the suggestions or ignore them completely. Truly, the main criteria for the Cowrite judges in deciding which script submission wins will be: Does it keep the reader wondering, "what happens next?"

So, if you're ready to be a paid screenwriter and want to be a part of the first potential community-created Hollywood blockbuster, please enter the Cowrite Contest here.

Thank you and Good Luck to all!
