Additionally, all Finalists will be invited to connect with collaborators during the festival at the Script Competition Networking Drinks event, a year of Raindance membership and complimentary accreditation to our festival.
All Semi-Finalists will receive a year of Raindance membership and a 50% discount to festival accreditation.
