Copyright Your Screenplay

Registering with the WGA and the U.S. Copyright Office.

For your protection, project greenlight REQUIRES that you have either already registered your screenplay with or have at least begun the process of registration with BOTH the U.S. Copyright Office and the Writer's Guild of America before you enter the Contest. The process is very simple, just click on their respective links to see how.

Why should you?
First, because it's a requirement of your participation in the Contest. Second, if you win, you will need to be able to provide us with your submission registration number for both the U.S. Copyright Office and the Writer's Guild. Finally, these organizations represent the best lines of defense for your work. Ask any screenwriter, registration is as essential in writing a screenplay as courier font. While registration can't prevent someone from plagiarizing your work, it can provide you with certain legal advantages in the event there's ever a dispute over your work. So, please take the time to register your screenplay now - it's not just a good idea, it's project greenlight law.
