I've attempted to collect many screenwriting contest deadlines, screenwriting programs, fellowships, etc for screenwriters as it is a useful tool for myself to keep track of what is coming up so I may submit accordingly. All of the deadlines are not posted as of yet because most of the websites haven't been updated yet for 2015, but I've placed the deadline month instead to give an idea when the submission deadline will be based on past submission dates. I will be updating this post as these websites are updated with the specific deadlines, as well as adding other contests and writing seminars / expos. If you know any that are important for others to know about, please share in the comments below.
