Briefs & Inspiration

Briefs

Here are some awesome sites and competitions where you can find briefs to work on with your partner.

  • https://crowdiate.com/
  • https://tongal.com/
  • https://www.youngshits.com/
  • http://www.youngglory.com/ (you have to be under 30)
  • https://www.specbank.com (This site doesn’t provide briefs, but has directors looking for spec scripts to produce so figured I’d throw at the end here)
