Great.

Thank you

I have the same issue as others – I uploaded my script and treatment, filled in all the information for the logline, synopsis, etc., and it now is sitting in my uploaded scripts in my dashboard. But when I try to go finally submit everything, i keep getting the following error message:

Something went wrong on our end. Please try again later or contact support if the problem persists.

The problem is persisting, so I guess I need to contact support, but didn’t want to do that if it’s a known issue on your end that just needs fixing. I hate to delete the script and start all over (can I even do that?), but that may be what I have to do, unless told otherwise.

Hi Gary, just direct messaged you.

In 2026 I have also submitted some of my scripts on this platform and it is a matter of great joy for me that I can present my work among all of you However I do feel a slight sense of disappointment—not towards anyone else but from my own side—because we are limited to adding a minimum of only three scripts here In reality I complete 10 full 100 original film scripts every year so I haven’t been able to give this platform everything I truly wanted to offer

What I appreciate most about working here is that the focus is on the quality of the work itself rather than a big name or a brand To be honest I am eagerly waiting for the day the Top 26 are selected Whether my story gets picked or not the truth is that I along with everyone else here am feeling a mix of deep nervousness and immense excitement to see the final result

Hello, Just submitted my script as well. This platform helped me do something I have procrastinated on(Call it my creative process) since this idea came to me in 2023, I Took a break(Call it study) from writing and now here we are. Question is, how long does the ‘pending‘ sign on the submission take before its accepted in?

You can submit your script here at any time, and the ‘pending’ status will remain until March 15th. It is a completely normal part of the process because we will be announcing the Top 26 tomorrow.

It is wonderful that you finally submitted the story you’ve been holding onto since 2023. Sometimes, the best ideas take time and a bit of hesitation before they are ready to be shared with the world; your decision to move forward now is excellent.

Since your submission is already in, there is no need to worry. On March 16, 2026, the Top 26 stories will be revealed right here on this platform. Best of luck to you and to everyone else who has uploaded their work

I submitted ‘The Cloud’ and now read in this forum that the treatment shoudn’t have a writers name.., and oeps, mine has. What to do?

It is true that you should not include your name within the body of the treatment. This is a standard requirement of the platform’s strategy. While you can share details about yourself in your profile or bio, the treatment submission itself should remain anonymous, except perhaps for personal details at the very top if specifically allowed.

If you submitted it recently and still see an option to edit, you should remove your name immediately. Time is of the essence because the submission portal is scheduled to close permanently after tonight.

Please check your dashboard right away. If editing is still enabled, fix this so you don’t lose your chance to be considered for the selection on March 29. It would be a shame for all your hard work to go to waste over such a small technicality. This is the best course of action: edit it as soon as possible if the system allows

Hello, thank you for this information. Trying to resubmit the treatment with no name, but option seems closed. Is the portal still open? different time zones here.

OR do i choose the Delete screenplay option?

Silou, Hello from fellow participant Benn. I couldn’t replace the treatment PDF with an anonymous version in the “pending” system. I also wasn’t able to delete that pending submission. I solved this by creating a second, completely new submission (which means you have to come up with a slightly different title, since the system doesn’t accept the same name twice). This also means you have to enter everything again from scratch, including the logline, etc.

Maybe this tip will help you… keep in mind that today is the last day!

Benn

Thank you bfloresr. Tip accepted and appreciated.

Yess I want to see a romance drama, and a unique plot

Hi, I didn’t know about this information, can my name be on my screenplay?

Hi! I submitted my screenplay through the Film Freeway portal. Did anyone else do this? I’m now wondering if that was the correct way to do it.

First of all, all the best to you. It doesn’t really matter where it was sent from; what matters is that it was sent. There were already 2800 scripts, and now that you have arrived, the count has reached 2801.

It is not important who submitted what or from where. What matters now is which story will be worthy of making it into the Top 26. After that, which stories will move into the Top 10, and then the Top 3? Finally, who will emerge as the winner?

These questions are already on everyone’s mind, so just enjoy this moment. You have chosen a great path by submitting your story.

Sadly, I emailed their support, and they said that my submission and receipt below doesn’t count because it was through Film Freeway. Hopefully, someone will be able to help. It was before the deadline :frowning:

Submissions were open to everyone starting January 23, and as widely known, the window closed on March 15. This was the designated period during which anyone could submit their scripts from any location, which is why no entry fees were charged.

Beyond this, you have already received the necessary clarification from the support team. The core matter now is that the top 26 stories will only be announced after March 29. We are waiting for the results just as you are. Everything will be clear to everyone in a matter of days. At this stage, it is simply impossible to provide any further outside assistance or intervention.
