The Golden Script Competition is a yearly competition founded in Glasgow, UK, of short, feature and TV pilot screenplays from all around the world.
You will be submitting to the 2022 edition, and the best scripts of this edition will be read by some of the most renowned production companies and literary agencies (including some that have won several OSCARS and BAFTAS), giving you the chance to have your script produced or represented ๐ฌ. 2022 Edition Mentors include Paul Haggis, the two-time Oscar-winning screenwriter.
One script will receive a $10,000 option fund from Lucky Elephant Media (Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Pieces of a Woman). The best scripts of 2022 will also be read and could be potentially considered for further options and development by the same company.

Each year in July, we promote our best scripts in the competition by creating a list called a Golden List. We then make the list available to most of our partners, as well as to creative executives, producers or directors who can find more information about the scripts there with the option to request them. Note that except from our partners and our direct contacts, no one will be able to read the scripts without the consent of the writer/s.

The option fund is a $10,000 guaranteed fund to be given by Lucky Elephant Media to one FEATURE or TV PILOT script in 2022, right after the Golden List announcement (July 10th, 2022). The option fund recipient will also receive creative development from The Golden Script Competition. Our top 15 FEATURES and 9 TV PILOTS of 2022 are eligible for the option fund. All eligible scripts will be read by Lucky Elephant Media, and thus more than one script can be considered for further options and development. Note that the option fund winning script can be different from our 1st, 2nd or 3rd place winner.

There will be quarter-finalists, semifinalists and finalists out of which a second runner up, a runner up and a WINNER will be designated. Only one script from each category can win THE GOLDEN SCRIPT award.
