Judges and Readers

The American Accolades TV, Treatments, & Shorts competition does not reveal its judges. This policy protects the competition from any writer who might try to influence a judge's decision. This policy also protects the privacy of our judges.

What if a judge wants to buy or sell my screenplay?!!!

Judges will be given the identifying information of any contestant who indicates that they wish to be contacted (see the appropriate place to request this on the American Accolades TV & Shorts application).

Here's an example of who will read your screenplay...
