THIS CONTEST IS CLOSED FOR SUBMISSIONS. WINNERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED SHORTLY. THANKS TO ALL WHO ENTERED!
We’re thrilled to announce another contest here on 20 Questions Film. This time we’re challenging you to do a good, old-fashioned script coverage of the feature film script, Before I Wake, written by our very own Joe Crump and Rachel Noll.
*** THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTING YOUR ENTRY IS FRIDAY, MAY 8 AT MIDNIGHT (PST) ***
First thing’s first. You can download the script here.
Next, this is what you would need to do:
- Read the script. Obviously.
- Write an evaluation that is 1 to 3 pages long (single spaced). The evaluation should be focused on the story, characters and theme, but I would be interested in any other thoughts that strike you about it as well.
- Upload your submission via the form below.
Your feedback must be honest; no one will be offended if it is negative. Either way, give suggestions on what you think would improve the script. After all, that’s what script coverage is all about, isn’t it?
The winning coverage, as well as notable mentions, will be posted on this website as an inspiration to our community of filmmakers, and it is our hope that different takes on the same script will teach us all a bit about how to approach script coverage in general.
And if the gift of knowledge isn’t enough, go ahead and enter for the money you might win.
The winning submission will be paid $200.
The submissions chosen for 2nd and 3rd place will be paid $50 each.
Even if your coverage is not chosen among the top three, we may – with your permission, of course – post your entry on the site and are happy to facilitate any contact between you and readers who may want to employ your script coverage services for themselves.
Remember, the winning submissions will not necessarily be the most flattering ones. They will be the most relevant and thorough. If you need a bit of visual inspiration, check out some initial concept art here.

Happy reading. Happy writing. And good luck!
