The Galway Film Fleadh Pitching Competition is once again open for submissions. All that is required to enter is a 500-word written pitch (from beginning to end – no cliff-hangers!).

Writers applying can be at any stage of their career. No experience is required. Any genre of feature drama, documentary or animation will be considered. Ten finalists will be selected to pitch their idea as an ‘Elevator Pitch’ of 90 seconds, in front of an audience and a panel of industry judges on the closing day of the Galway Film Fleadh (July 14th).

The winner will be announced at the Galway Film Fleadh Awards Ceremony and will receive a cash prize of €3000.

The regular deadline for entry to the Pitching Competition is Friday 17th May 2024, at 5pm and the entry fee is €40. The late deadline is Wednesday 29th May 2024 at 5pm and the fee is €50.
