Just Effing Contest is on a distinguished road
Enter the Just Effing Entertain Me screenwriting competition today!

LIVE THE DREAM!

Last year’s winner, Jared Kelly, had cocktails with Dan McGrath (SNL, The Simpsons), toured the Dreamworks campus, skyped with Stephen Susco (The Grudge) and signed a deal with the makers of one of the most successful horror film franchises of all time: Paranormal Activity. This year, the grand prize winner will have lunch with two illustrious writers: Tom Benedek (Cocoon) and Sheldon Turner (X-Men: First Class and Up in the Air)!

I wonder what it would be like if YOU were to win this year? So – what are you waiting for?!

Could be fun but know that there's a fee involved. $55 until 07/01. $65 after and until deadline.

What kind of deal did last year's winner get, anyway?
