I'm reviewing this old forum as part of a Game of Thrones activity to review "inactive forums."

Although I didn't often have the opportunity to enter, I really enjoyed the fact that someone was running a screenwriting contest on Writing.com. I always found it difficult, with my own screenwriting group, to maintain interest (there aren't that many screenwriters here, apparently, and the technical tools available on the site make script formats quite difficult), but I was always impressed by the way you were able to run this contest for a number of rounds despite the challenges.

The one suggestion I have for this contest, should you ever choose to bring it back again, is some of the feedback you noted that you received from others, which is that I think the prompts could have been a little stronger. It's always hard to tell what the real cause is when a contest doesn't gain traction (is it something about the contest itself, just a lack of interest on the site, etc.), but it seems that a couple of people specifically cited the prompts as being a reason why they didn't participate. I would definitely recommend rethinking the prompts if you were ever to consider reopening this contest again.

It was fun to revisit this old contest and remember a time when screenwriting was (a bit) more of a focus for some of us on Writing.com. Good work!
