The Palm Springs World Series of Screenwriting and Filmmaking Trophies

If you would like to purchase a trophy to commemorate your win you can do so here.

https://k2awards.com/products/monster-golf-trophy#/

We make NO profit by doing this. We simply do it was a service to our writers. Again, we make no profit doing this so please run all questions through our 3rd party vendor. Many of our competitors charge $300 to $500 to purchase trophies at the conclusion of their festivals. We do it for free -again we are not set up to get a piece of any of the profits from trophy sales. And the trophies provided should only cost you between twenty and thirty dollars. Again, we only provide the service because so many prior winners have requested the opportunity to purchase a trophy. And if you don't want one, you don't have to buy one.

Please keep in mind that this is a  third party vendor and all questions, payments, and shipping issues should be handled through them. Again, we make NO profit off our trophies. We just provide an opportunity to our writers and filmmakers who want a trophy to purchase one.

If you choose to have engraving done we recommend.
