As a NZ WIFT member you can still enter the Kansas City WIFT 5th annual Short Screenplay Contest. All members of a Women in Film chapter get a discount on their entry fee. Please see http://www.kcwift.com/contest/. The next deadline is October 18, 2015.
The contest has 2 goals: (1) Encourage more women to write screenplays. (2) Encourage all writers to develop female protagonists. To accomplish these goals, we offer 2 prizes:
