Are you the next big thing in screenwriting?

Grazia is looking for fresh new female screenwriting talent. It could be you...

grazia has always been passionate about championing – and inspiring – women to get ahead, and film is an industry in which women have traditionally struggled to get their voices heard. Which is why we’re thrilled to be announcing our inaugural female screenwriting competition, with prizes provided by BAFTA.

Perhaps you’ve always thought you’d fancy screenwriting but didn’t know where to start – or maybe you’ve had a film script languishing away for years but had no idea what to do with it.

Helping us in our search for new female talent is BAFTA member and acclaimed screenwriter Rachel De-lahay. Rachel has written the start of the opening scene of a new film called The Void. You need to continue the screenplay in no more than 10 pages ( including Rachel’s opening lines), something that equates to roughly the first 10 minutes of a feature-length film, sending it over to us by 29 March.

A panel of judges including Grazia’s editor, as well as BAFTA members, will decide on a winner, who will be announced in the magazine mid-may. The winner will receive an exclusive mentoring meeting with an industry professional courtesy of BAFTA, access to BAFTA events during 2019 (subject to space), and the chance to see your entry in Grazia.
