Austin Cinema Grand Slam Film Festival and Screenwriting Competition

An online film and screenwriting competition listed on FilmFreeway with an Austin, Texas address. It takes screenplays and pilots alongside finished features, shorts, student films, documentaries, animation and web series, and gives category awards for genres, directing, acting, cinematography and editing. The organizers say it aims to recognize emerging writers who lack money or industry connections. The listing shows no physical venue: results are due August 19, 2027, with an event date of August 31, 2027, and deadlines run monthly from late October 2026 through July 2027. No official website or record of past winners was found beyond the FilmFreeway page, which lists it in its second year.
