| The NFO competition seeks to provide unsold writers an opportunity for
recognition and networking with the Hollywood market, and to encourage
the creation of scripts specific to Nevada. The small size of the
competition improves a writer's chances of finishing well, and judges
usually provide helpful notes and useful criticism. All genres are
welcome except pornography which is excluded. Drama, comedy, sci
fi, westerns, historical, fantasy, action, adventure, heists, road movies,
thrillers, and more have all won and/or placed well over the years. |
