All genres are accepted.
Each individual or team is required to submit a summary of the script together with the script. Summaries of scripts exceeding the required length will not be accepted.
Scripts may be in Bahasa Melayu, Mandarin and/or English language.
Scripts exceeding the required length will not be accepted.

Submitted scripts will not be returned.
Each individual or team certifies that the script submitted is the original work of the Participant(s) and has not been produced, sold or optioned at the time of submission and after the submission.
If a submitted script becomes produced, purchased or optioned between the time of the
submission and the end of the judging period, this will result in the submitted script being ineligible for consideration in the Competition.
Once a script has been submitted in the Competition, no substitutions, new drafts or corrected pages will be accepted under any circumstances in order to run a fair competition for all Participants.
Participants should not include any extraneous material in their submissions. Extraneous material includes but is not limited to log lines, genres, photographs, pictures, maps, character lists and descriptions, and/or notes to readers. Your script should stand on its own. Any extraneous material helping to “draw a picture” for the reader or to assist the reader in understanding the tone, approach, background, characters, clues, etc. is not appropriate. All of this should be conveyed within the script. Incorporated notes – such as “All dialogue in italics is to be spoken in Mandarin.” – are permissible.
