I came to the same conclusion about contests a couple of years ago, although there are a few I still sometimes enter, including Page, Golden Script and UKFF. But I decided to try VPF (Virtual Pitch Fest) instead, and I buy myself a block of pitches every year. I’ve had several read requests but no concrete results. I’m starting to think this is just a way for producers/managers etc. to make a few easy dollars by clicking the ‘No Thankyou’ button without really considering the synopsis. Would love to hear your views on this, or anybody else’s experience with it.
