The INCAA Finished Comedy Screenplay Competition 2026, organized by Argentina’s National Institute of Cinema and Audiovisual Arts (INCAA), is open to Argentine screenwriters aged 18 and older. The call accepts completed comedy screenplays, including comedy, romantic comedy, dark comedy, and related subgenres, in both fiction and animation.
Eligible formats include feature films of up to 120 minutes and series consisting of at least four episodes with a minimum running time of 15 minutes each. As the competition is dedicated to completed screenplays, it falls under the Completed Projects category rather than a pitch forum, laboratory, or market.
Applications will be accepted from April 20, 2026, to May 20, 2026, until 2:00 p.m. (Argentina time). The call does not specify event dates or an official announcement date for the selected projects; the results will be published later through an official INCAA resolution.
