Last chance: late, final & extended screenwriting deadlines

20 contests whose next deadline is a late, final or extended tier, sorted by date. 10 close within the next 7 days. For 13 of them it's the last deadline we have listed, so missing it means waiting for the next cycle; the rest list one more tier after it, shown on each card. Late tiers usually cost the most, so the fee line gives every price the organizer posts. Many contests don't let you revise a script after you submit, so give the draft one last read before you enter. If you'd rather pay less and have time, see Early-bird deadlines.
