We are absolutely thrilled to announce the GOLDEN LIST of 2025!

Congratulations to everyone who made it onto this year’s list! Selected from an incredible 1,984 submissions, we’ve handpicked the top 15 unproduced feature scripts, 6 outstanding short scripts, and 9 exceptional TV pilots. This carefully curated selection will soon be shared with our industry partners, including creative executives, producers, and directors actively seeking fresh, unproduced material.

Feel free to also check the previous Golden Lists.

As in the past, this year’s scripts span a wide range of narratives, from a woman whose world unravels after her husband mysteriously loses a finger, to a high schooler risking everything in a gang-run cannabis grow house to save her addict mother. Other highlights include a suicidal teenager forced out of his comfort zone when the hitman he hires online turns out to be an old childhood friend, a shoeshine boy who is drafted into the NYPD to fight crime in Italian neighborhoods, an obsessive agent who confronts buried secrets as she takes over her hometown police force, a young mother who shakes up the Deep South in 1969, and a gifted programmer who battles a powerful medical AI with a hidden agenda. These are just a glimpse of the compelling works on this year’s list.

Once again, thank you for a wonderful edition. See you in 2026 - you can now submit your short, feature or TV pilot script via our ENTRY FORM, FilmFreeway or ISA

Looking forward to reading your script!

Best wishes,

The Golden Script Competition Team
