JAC Film School and its partner WIN respect the creative works of writers and support their protection. According to African Regional Intellectual Property Organization (ARIPO), copyright protection encourages creativity and information exchange. ARIPO also encourages creators to register their works with ‘the copyright office for purposes of, for example, identifying and distinguishing titles of works’.
It is within this context that JAC/WIN would like to
tip writers who are concerned with the protection of their intellectual
property. Register your works. There are various sites where you can register
but we found the WGA West Registry as one of the best where you can register your
film ideas.

Meanwhile, JAC/WIN would like to elucidate the issue
of submitting an extract (that meets competition regulations) from a complete
longer work. If
you are submitting an extract from a screenplay then it will be beneficial to
give a short log line capturing what your screenplay is about in less than 25
words and also provide a brief introduction to the characters appearing in the
scene in less than 100 words.
Thank you.
Stay safe from COVID-19. Let’s join hands and
fight this pandemic!
