For the Nicholl route via the Writers Guild Foundation, the FAQ asks for an original English-language feature screenplay in standard industry format, as a PDF of 80-125 pages, on US Letter or A4, with a title-only title page and no identifying information (an LoC or WGA registration number is optional). The WGA FAQ page has no margin, font or Courier specification, a bounded negative for one page.
