Stumbled across this. Don't be frightened.
'Amazon Studios are inviting submission of comedy ideas in the form of pilot scripts. To find out more about what they're looking for visit the Amazon Studios site here.' - https://studios.amazon.com/submit/series/comedy
Thanks for the link Gollum. Looks interesting.
Is anyone using the free cloud based screenwriter software?
Has anyone submitted a script?
This does look interesting. They say 'think high budget' which has to be a first in comedy. I'd be interested to know if anyone has given this a try.
I've had a quick look at the site but I can't see a deadline date? Am I being thick? (Yes I know!)

I could not see a date either. Perhaps it is open ended? Things I've been reading suggest that Amazon and Netflix have quite a bit of cash to splash for making new programmes, and of course they both already have the infrastructure in place to sell them to a growing audience.
PPV streaming - it's the future 
Interestingly, tucked away in the T&C's is the option to make your script public for peer review.
Whilst some might get a bit squeamish about plagiarism (rare) others might fancy the idea of a bit of feedback.
Got rejected in two days. Must be a record.
I win. A day and a half . Beat that. I was well excited when I got a reply that fast.
Brute! 2.22 - 2.28 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqC2y-TgQVM Mind you, I've been doing stand-up for 8 years, I've read 7 books on the subject and been to / paid for 6 professional courses, and I'm still total and utter f**king shit. Beat that.
I genuinely don't get this - it says they try to evaluate within 90 days....
Do you think they're even reading the stuff?
Just rejecting certain things without even reading?
Or is no-one sending stuff and they're pouncing on things the second they come in the door?
What did you send?
A shitcom pisspilot. I got a presumably automated reply and then a 'doesn't fit our requitements.' They said I could rewank it,but the words 'polish' and 'turd' sprang to mind.
So, the record stands at a day & a half.
I might send something in - I love a challenge!
I accept you challenge. I will submit later.
