News Story

Studio21 International has opened its 2025 script competition with a mission to uncover a hit microdrama that can appeal to a contemporary audience worldwide.

The competition invites entries for series made up of 2-5 minute episodes, with a total of 40-60 episodes across the series.

Entrants should submit

  • The first three episode scripts (of between 2-5 minutes per episode) as a single file with the end of each episode clearly marked.
  • A treatment for the full series, to run between 40- 60 episodes.

You can find out more and enter online at: https://www.studio21.com/script

There is a £30 fee to enter.

Deadline for submissions is 17 September 2025.

The C21 Script Competition is a great opportunity for filmmakers because it offers them a chance to have their work presented at Content London. This year they are also looking at work that might make sense in episodes online, and then presented as longform on TV - this will be of particular interest to our film makers involved with UPstream and Film London Labs.
