BEFORE YOU START

Have these ready.

Working title, track (A or B) and genre
Logline: one sentence, the core conflict and hook (under 250 characters)
One shared folder (Google Drive, Dropbox or similar) containing three PDFs:
1. Full script: all 10–12 episodes (1–3 minutes each), standard screenplay format
2. Series bible: 1–3 pages covering tone (how it feels), visual language (how it looks on a phone) and audience fit (who will binge it, and where)
3. Pitch document with three sections: Synopsis (full series arc, 500 words or fewer), Character bios (2–4 main characters, 500 words or fewer total) and Source Engagement Note (200–300 words on the passages or themes from Rewriting A New History that inspired you)

Set your folder to “Anyone with the link can view”

Google Drive: right-click the folder → Share → under General access choose “Anyone with the link” → Copy link.

Dropbox: click Share on the folder → Copy link (make sure it isn’t password protected or set to expire).

Test it: open the link in a private/incognito window. If you can see your PDFs without signing in, so can we.

NO PASSWORD PROTECTION. My folder link is set to “Anyone with the link can view.” If we can’t open your link, we can’t get your files, and your entry can’t be judged.

I confirm that the core creative and narrative elements of this submission (scene construction, dialogue, character development, plot structure) are my own original human authorship. AI tools were used only for supporting tasks (research, outlining, brainstorming, proofreading or formatting), if at all.

I confirm this submission is original work prepared specifically for the Verticals For Good Micro-Series Challenge and has not been previously produced.

I have read and agree to the Verticals For Good Official Rules, including the Source Material license and the work-for-hire terms that apply if I am selected as the Winner.
