10. Can my screenplay be shorter than 90 pages? Can it be longer than 130 pages?

The Official Rules require screenplays to be between 90 and 130 pages in length, and in industry standard screenplay format. However, the process of converting a screenplay file into an Adobe® PDF file may result in the "shrinkage" or "growth" of the screenplay in page length, or in other minor formatting errors or deviations from your screenplay's original appearance. After converting your screenplay into a PDF file, please check to make certain that the converted version satisfies the 90-130 page length requirement (see the Official Rules for details on minimum and maximum page lengths), that the file does not contain errors, that the file appears as you intend, and that it otherwise complies with the Official Rules. If PDF conversion "shrinkage," "growth," and formatting problems persist, Greenlight will not disqualify Submissions that suffer from such "shrinkage," "growth," or conversion-induced errors if you can later demonstrate to our satisfaction that (a) the Submission in its original industry-standard format meets the 90-130 page requirement and conforms to all of the other specifications set forth in the Official Rules, and (b) any resulting page loss, growth, or formatting error is due solely to the PDF conversion process, as determined by Greenlight.
