Looks like a good opportunity to submit your bodybuilding script or movie that you've made and make a little money...

Don't things like this just give the people reading them free access to new ideas? Hell I heard Stallone ripped off a script to make the Expendables.

It might, I don't know enough about that industry. I would think that if someone won this type of contest a person would have a decent chance of it getting made or released by someone.

True. But think of the thousands of scripts that will be sent in to god knows who. Good ideas are hard to come by. And Hollywood is known to rip anyone/everyone off. Because if they didn't have to, Friday the 13th part 4-10 wouldn't possibly make it to the big screen.

There are thieves among us. If you have a good or great idea, protect it with your life ;)

And for anyone thinking of sending in a script, you may want to do yourself a favor and sign it with a really cool Jewish name.

Yeah that does seem to happen alot. With all the different versions of 'The Three Muskateers' and 'Robin Hood' its obvious Hollywood isn't very creative. I geuss the only recourse down the road would be to sue when you see your movie come out.
