Required Length and Format
All scripts must be uploaded to the NYTVF Web site. The scripts must be a PDF document formatted recognizably as a television script, and they must be 25 to 35 pages in length.
Proper formatting of scripts is advised, including proper indenting of character names and dialogue. All elements may be single or double-spaced – there is no preference provided that the script falls within the length guidelines. There are many acceptable ways to format script entries, and many online resources offer templates and helpful tips on how to format a script correctly.

There is no fee to enter the script contest.
