Almost there.....

Today I submitted the screenplay for the copyright at wgawregistry.org (Writers Guild of America West). It was actually quite simple actually. There was a button that said REGISTER ONLINE and I clicked it. Paid 20 bucks for it and it lasts for five years, but it was the cheapest and easiest way. Now, all I need to do is start submitting the screenplay to the contests.After Eric reads over it to catch any mistakes I missed.
I have made a top 4 list of the competitions I want to enter. I'm going to pick 2, most likely to the 2 cheapest.
Here is my top 4:

Script P.I.M.P
Deadline May 1st.
Four Grand Prizes $3,500 each plus $250 airfare voucher and 3 night hotel stay in LA for an awards ceremony and script circulation to 200+ companies.
20 finalist $200 each plus $250 airfare voucher and 3 night hotel stay in LA for an awards ceremony and script circulation to 200+ companies.
Plus a ton of door prizes (weird)
$50 entry fee

American Screenwriting Competition
Deadline April 30th
Grand Prize $11,000 plus $1,000 in software. Second prize $2,000. Third prize $1,000. Cash prizes up to 10th place!
$65 entry fee

Creative World Awards (CWA)
Deadline May 31st
Grand Prize $5,000 plus prize package
$60 entry fee

Big Break (A Final Draft, Inc. contest)
Deadline June 1st
Grand Prize $15,000 plus prizes and 3 night hotel stay to meet with producer Marvin V. Acuna and others. Second place is same as first except $4,000 prize money.
$50 entry fee

So, after writing this and reading over the websites I'm pretty sure I will be entering Script P.I.M.P and Big Break, Final Draft Inc, contest.
