What contests do you think are worth the entry fee, besides Stage 32 feature contest, which I have already entered? Nicholl? Script Pipeline? Big Break? Others?

Expand commentBob, you've got the same conversation going in two threads. You register your script with the copyright office and that is your protection. You don't need to ensure that everyone who reads your script in a comp, sees your name or your registration. If you're worried about that then don't enter comps.

Expand commentBob, if your work is copyrighted then don't worry. Really. Contests often require submitted work to be copyrighted or registered -- both are industry standard practice and usually expected. Forgive me, but being overly concerned (perhaps paranoid) only reflects poorly on you (from a professional standpoint). So, just protect your work and enter only reputable contests -- many have already been mentioned within this thread. :)
