Announcing the 2021 TITAN Awards Semi-Finalists

After the initial rounds of intense inter-category competition and the quarter-final announcement, we were delighted to announce the Semi-Finalists of The 2021 TITAN Screenwriting Contest, as promised, on the 30th October 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 Semi-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.”

The 2021 Semi-Finalists

The TITAN Awards is a screenwriting contest whereby material competes against its own kind for as long as possible over the course of a contest cycle. Horror feature vs Horror feature, Series Bible vs Series Bible, Sci-Fi vs Sci-Fi, etc.

Accordingly, here are the names and project titles of those who progressed in their respective category, competing all the while against their own kind.
