Before submitting to a ANY contest and competition be sure to check out their track record and the accuracy of their claims. Years of working with, running and being a part of film festivals as well as script competitions, has taught us that bold claims of getting meetings with "someone from HBO" or having an "exec who has worked for Netflix" are often extremely embellished claims- click bait to get you to submit. Do the research, read the fine print and "subtext". It's your money, spend it on real career advancement!
