The LightReel Film Festival is now accepting submissions for its 2nd Annual LightReel Film Festival Screenplay Competition in 2025.

The 2025 LightReel Film Festival Screenplay Competition is devoted to finding the best screenplays from around the world and offering their authors the opportunity to take part in a once-in-a-lifetime writing workshop and mentorship program with professionals in the industry.

Three screenplays, one pilot screenplay, one feature film, and one short film screenplay are chosen from submissions to take part in one-on-one mentorship meetings. Not only do they get notes on their winning screenplay, but the finalists’ script participate in a table read and also get to build meaningful relationships with their mentors and network with the diverse and experienced crowd of filmmakers and industry insiders who attend the LightReel Film Festival every year.
