The wait is over! The moment we've all been looking forward to is finally here: the announcement of the 2026 QUARTER-FINALISTS is here! The level of competition this year was notably high, with an impressive total of 1,880 scripts submitted. As a result, only 13% of these outstanding entries made it through to the quarter-finals.
We have our fingers crossed that our esteemed PARTNERS will soon discover the potential of these remarkable scripts. This year's prizes include exclusive one-on-one masterclasses with OSCAR and EMMY-nominees.
The SEMIFINALISTS will be announced on August 30th, followed by the FINALISTS on September 5th, and the WINNERS on September 10th, 2026. The writers moving forward will receive additional e-mails from us, so stay tuned!
Congratulations to all the screenwriters advancing to the next stage! And to those whose journey ends here this year, keep writing. Every script is part of the process, and rejection is something even the most accomplished writers and filmmakers have faced along the way. Keep developing your craft, trust your voice, and above all, keep telling the stories that matter to you. Your next script or your next opportunity may be the one that changes everything.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to read some amazing scripts this and last year.
Best wishes,
The Golden Script Competition Team
