Announcing the 4th Annual Romantic Comedy Screenwriting Contest

Hey friends!

The ONLY Romantic Comedy Screenplay Contest in the World is Back!

Ever dreamt of seeing your romantic comedy script come to life on the big screen or streaming on flat-screens in living rooms across the country? This is your chance to turn that dream into reality! Our Grand Prize Winner will win a Career Accelerator prize package valued at $5,000 that includes script & career development, writer branding and an education package and will be flown to LA to meet industry professionals who’ve worked on iconic romantic comedy movies and shows like A FAMILY AFFAIR, ISN'T IT ROMANTIC?, DIDI, MINX, CHEMICAL HEARTS, LOOK BOTH WAYS, THE MORNING SHOW and many more!

Captivating romantic comedy movies and shows are a staple of modern entertainment. From the raw passion and intensity of CHALLENGERS, to the totally wild and original concept of HOT FROSTY, to the fun and games of ANYONE BUT YOU, audiences can’t get enough powerful romantic comedy storytelling. Last year alone, romantic comedy films like THE FALL GUY and WE LIVE IN TIME proved romantic comedy movies can still make a splash the box office. The appetite for amazing romantic comedy movies and show is insatiable, and we want your story to be the next smash hit!

Stage 32 is proud to present the 4th Annual Romantic Comedy Screenwriting Contest!

We’re on the lookout for all types of romantic comedy scripts! Charming, flirty comedies? Goofy meet cutes? Tearjerking romances that make you laugh before you cry? The next legendary mismatched affair? We want to see it all! If you have a romantic comedy story that needs to be told, now is the time to show us what you've got! Our goal is to amplify your voice, give you the access Stage 32 is known for, and take your writing career to the next level!
