Script Frenzy is an international writing event where participants are challenged to write 100 pages of scripted material in the month of April. Script Frenzy is a challenge and not a contest, so there are no fees and no valuable prizes are awarded. Every writer who completes the goal of at least 100 pages will receive a handsome Script Frenzy Winner's Certificate and web icon proclaiming this fact.
The creators of Script Frenzy also created the National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo, which is a similar challenge to complete at least a 50,000 word novel in the month of November. They also support and sponsor the Young Writers Program, for both NaNoWriMo and YWP.
