Submit via FilmFreeway:

Very happy that our screenplay was chosen as an award winner by judges that love the genre, and feedback from people who know the genre was very helpful. I made a tweak or two from that feedback and even used a quote in a query letter to some managers that just got me some screenplay requests. Good communication from the festival.
