RUNNERS-UP

Naked Truth by Tiaré Scanda

The Shell by Neal Patrick Peterson

A "meet cute" is a cinematic term used to describe the pivotal moment when two characters meet for the first time under unique, comical, or charming circumstances that lead to a future romantic relationship. In light of current times, we're more heavily relying on digital technology as a way to meet new people. Write a scene/sequence about two people who experience a digital meet cute. In your submission, the characters should ideally meet for the first time in a humorous, embarrassing, uncommon, and/or conflicting manner that serves to set up their impending relationship later in the story. Your work should be no more than 10 pages.

SUBMISSION LIMITS

Your written work cannot exceed 10 pages.

Deadline to submit: August 31, 2020 at 2PM PT.
