Overview
Wiki: The World's Fastest Screenplay Contest is a Beverly Hills-based screenplay competition rather than a traditional film festival. It is notable for its emphasis on rapid monthly judging, electronic-only submissions, and industry-professional feedback from working WGA award-winning writers and producers, making it a high-volume venue for screenwriters seeking fast turnaround and development notes.[4][6][8]

I would urge all Screenplay writers to enter WIKI Screenplay Competition! You'll get good communication, and high Quality Competition. I was shocked to win Quarter Finalist in this Competition considering the amount of submissions they get. Placing in this Competition gave me a lot of confidence to keep going! I cant wait to enter my new project for 2026!

As always you guys do a great job hosting this festival. I’m honored to have three of my pilots recently place as Quarter-Finalist and my pilot Strange Sam place as Semi-finalist. Great job to everyone who placed! Thank you for all you do!

I was honored to be a Quarterfinalist in this festival. Feedback was beyond helpful, insightful and inspiring. They gave me detailed tips on how to improve my script, and I can’t wait to send them another draft!

WOW!!! I am deeply honoured and thrilled to receive this award for my Hit Me TV Pilot Episode Script from Wiki. The World's Fastest Screenplay Contest. This recognition is a welcome, meaningful validation of my creative vision and hard work, and I’m truly grateful to the festival and its jury for believing in this story. Thank you for this wonderful encouragement. It inspires me to keep pushing forward and telling bold, authentic stories. It has been a real honour and a pleasure, and thank you all again. Best wishes, Alex

I cannot recommend Wiki enough. I’m an amateur screenwriter and the professional analysis I received on my screenplay was very valuable. I was able to polish the screenplay based on the analysis and resubmit. The polished screenplay was selected as a Finalist.
