ABOUT
Who we are and what we offer
FADE IN:
Recognized by MovieBytes as one of the TOP SCREENPLAY CONTESTS for 2023-2025, The Golden Script Competition is a yearly international competition for short, feature and TV pilot screenplays. Many of our writers have found success through the competition, securing industry representation, signing option agreements, and having their work shopped to major production companies.
​
Our top scripts are reviewed annually by prestigious production companies and literary agencies, including some that have won several OSCARS and EMMYS, giving you the opportunity to have your script produced or represented. Our mentors include an OSCAR and an EMMY-nominee, while our judges feature producers and executive producers behind acclaimed films like THE USUAL SUSPECTS and BIRDMAN. On top of all that, we offer cash prizes totaling $10,000.
​
Each year, we showcase our top scripts through The Golden List, a curated collection shared with companies, producers and directors seeking outstanding unproduced screenplays. For the chance to be included, submit now.
THE END.
