Announcing The 2021 TITAN Awards Quarter-Finalists

After the initial rounds of intense inter-category competition, we were delighted to announce the Quarter-Finalists of The 2021 TITAN Screenwriting Contest, on the 30th September 2021. The full list of qualifiers is below.

Even in the contest’s inaugural year, the situation was extremely competitive and there were a great many writers and projects that impressed.

So it’s a big congratulations to those who made the Quarter-Finals, and a sincere message to those who didn’t, that this is by no means the final word on their project. To all writers, it’s worth recalling an attitude – nay, the only attitude – which gets writers ahead in any creative arena:

“By the time I was fourteen, the nail in my wall would no longer support the weight of the rejection slips impaled upon it. I simply replaced the nail with a spike and went on writing.”

Stephen King

The 2021 Quarter-Finalists
