ABOUT
Who we are and what we offer
FADE IN:
Recognized by MovieBytes as one of the TOP SCREENPLAY CONTESTS for 2023 & 2024, 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 best scripts of the year are read by some of the most renowned production companies & literary agencies (including some that have won several OSCARS and EMMYS), giving you the chance to have your script produced or represented. Our mentors include an OSCAR and an EMMY-nominee. Our judges include producers and executive producers who have produced films like THE USUAL SUSPECTS and BIRDMAN. On top of all that, we offer cash prizes totaling $10,000.
​
Each year, we promote our best scripts by creating a list called The Golden List. It is then made available to producers and directors looking for unproduced scripts. For the chance to be included, submit now.
THE END.
