Contest Ideas: 1. Script Writing
Many people love watching television and therefore have favourite shows that they like to watch. There are many different type of television shows - reality TV, comedy, drama, adventure, horror, family, game shows, soap operas, romance, etc. Whatever your interest is, there is a television show for you.
What I thought would be cool is if we have a contest devoted to the best script writer. I mean, we all watch our favourite shows and wonder how the writers came up with such a scene or story line. Well, now here is your chance to put your creativity to the test.
Your job is to write a scene for one of your favourite television shows. You should be as creative as you can and even include pictures to describe your scene a little bit better.
Rules:
-This is an individual contest and therefore you cannot work with anyone.
-Your scene must be no shorter than one page and no longer than three pages typed with font Times New Roman, size 12
-Your scene must include two different characters. You are allowed to bring new characters into the scene, but must include at least one character currently in the show
