What makes our contest unique?
- Write Reality is the only writing contest dedicated exclusively to reality television.
- As reality television producers, we've developed and sold shows and forged personal relationships with the top reality production companies.
- The networks don't care whether reality shows are created by professional screenwriters or producers. They just want great reality show ideas!
How can I find out about last year's winners?
We had a great inaugural year in 2012. Thanks to everyone who entered and congratulations to our winners and runners-up! Go to the 2012 Winners page to learn more.
Remember, reality shows are not only about "real" people, they are often written by "real" people, too. Creating a reality show is your job. Write Reality's job is to help you sell it.
