Legitimacy ScoreOverview
The Diverse Dreams Screenplay Competition is a Louisville-based screenplay contest organized in partnership with Women in Film Kentucky to encourage more diverse stories set in Kentucky. It is notable for its focus on narrative feature and short film scripts, as well as TV pilots, that feature strong lead female, trans, or non-binary characters and center Kentucky locations or themes. Winners receive cash prizes and live table reads at a film and TV industry event, giving the competition significance as a regional platform for emerging writers and underrepresented voices.
