Legitimacy ScoreOverview
Script Crowd Contest is an online screenwriting competition based in Toronto that is notable for using a peer-voting model: submitters act as the jury and vote on competing scripts. It is open worldwide, awards a cash prize and industry coaching, and is part of Toronto’s broader ecosystem of independent film and screenplay contests rather than a major public screening festival.[1]
