Script Frenzy is an international writing event in which participants attempt the creatively daring feat of writing an entire script in the month of April.

Script Frenzy is free of cost. This isn’t a contest, so there are no valuable prizes awarded or "Best Of" categories. In our opinion, each writer who attempts to reach his or her goal is victorious and awe-inspiring! (And you'll get certificates and web badges proclaiming this fact.)

So, what are you waiting for? Stop watching, and start writing!

Who: You and everyone you know. No experience required.

What: Write a script in 30 days. (Screenplays, stage plays, TV shows, short films, comics, and graphic novels are all welcome.)

When: April 1–30. Every year. Mark your calendars.

Where: Online and in person (if you're participating with your class or with a group of friends).

Why: Because you have a story to tell. Because you want a creative challenge. Because you’ll be super-bummed if you miss out on the adventure!

How: Sign up. Tell everyone that you are in the Frenzy. Clear your calendar. Start some wrist exercises. Have fun!

The 5 Basic Rules of Script Frenzy's Young Writers Program

1) To be crowned an official Script Frenzy Young Writers Program winner, you must set a page-count goal, achieve that page-count goal, and upload a version of your script to verify your page count by the end of April.

2) You may write individually or with a partner.

3) Scriptwriting may begin no earlier than 12:00:01 AM on April 1, and must end by 11:59:59 PM on April 30, local time.

4) You may write screenplays, stage plays, TV shows, short films, comic book scripts, radio scripts, adaptations of novels, or any other type of script your heart desires. As long as you write a script and meet your page-count goal, you're golden!

5) You must, at some point, have ridiculous amounts of fun.
