Are you a screenwriter or storyteller? Do you want your script to be converted into a movie? Now, this is your chance of a lifetime.
All what you need do is to submit a synopsis of your original feature-length film script for consideration in the prestigious XLCreativeHub Screenwriting Competition and Creator Residency.
While submission will close on March 16, review of entries would take place between March 17 and 20, with six finalists emerging on the day.
According to the organizer, the entire event will be streamed live on XLCreativeHub’s YouTube channel, featuring judging panel that includes Halima Odiegwu, Emil Guruba and Kehinde Joseph.
The shortlisted finalists will participate in Screenwriting Residency scheduled for Abuja from March 22 to 28. While public voting for the winner will commence on March 28 and end on April 6, the overall winner emerges on April 7, 2026.
Mr. Josh Akosile, Chief Operating Officer, XLCreativeHub, stated: “We are pleased to invite screenwriters and storytellers to submit a synopsis of their original feature-length film script for consideration in the prestigious XLCreativeHub Screenwriting Competition and Creator Residency.
“If you have a powerful story and the vision to bring it to life on screen, this is your chance to be discovered, developed, and celebrated. This highly competitive programme offers a rare opportunity to turn your script into a produced film while competing for a professional film writing contract, a chance to win a film production deal and shared royalties.”
The finalists will undergo a one-week creator residency where judges would mentor them and support the development of their scripts.
“At the end of the residency, each finalist will produce a movie script from which a trailer will be created. The general public will then preview the trailers and vote for their favourite script. The finalist with the highest votes will be declared the winner,” he concluded.
