Announcing The 3rd Annual Television Drama Screenwriting Contest

TV Dramas are easily the most talked about type of media right now. Streaming has made it so easy to become obsessed with shows like YOU and YELLOWSTONE. Not to say that network dramas aren't still killing it - classics like HOUSE, MD or LAW & ORDER are some of the most binged shows by those who watched them week to week and brand new fans, and current shows like GREY'S ANATOMY feel unstoppable, even after 18 seasons. Whether it's gossiping about SUCCESSION with your coworkers or live-tweeting the Cassie/Maddy showdown on EUPHORIA, we know you're talking about TV Dramas.

Stage 32 is proud to present the 3rd Annual Television Drama Screenwriting Contest!

Our 10 finalists get amazing exposure too; last year’s finalists had their work requested by top production and management companies staffing and producing today's hottest shows!
