Admit it. You love a good romantic comedy. Rom-coms make us believe in love. They make us laugh AND cry. They always have a happy ending, and they make us feel like anything is possible! In this contest, we want you to channel the spirits of Meg Ryan and a young Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts & Richard Gere, or pretty much anything that starred Hugh Grant. Write us your best romantic comedy script, complete with a saccharine meet-cute. Set the romantic bar high, and the comedic bar higher, for a chance to win one of several cash prizes and a chance to get produced!
