Trackingb's prestigious contests discover and promote writers and have lead to some of the biggest contest success stories in the industry.

"I entered my spec script EXTANT in the pilot contest because I'd heard so much about trackingb and its reputation for helping writers reach the holy grail of representation. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that eight months later I'd be in production, going straight to series on CBS. I know that's a million to one shot, but it happened, and trackingb's tv pilot contest was the very first step."
- Mickey Fisher (contest finalist & now Executive Producer/Creator - "Extant" & "Reverie").

"After becoming a finalist, I landed two of the best reps in town and sold my first feature... the trackingb contest was the launching pad."
- John Swetnam (contest finalist with "Evidence," screenwriter of "Step Up: All In," "Into The Storm" & "Breaking Through")

"I've placed in several big screenwriting contests before, but none of them delivered anything close to the results of my Honorable Mention in the Trackingb.com contest. I received over a dozen requests from top representatives and production companies, one of which became my first option. Now Mike (my co-writer) and I just sold a comedy pilot to Spike TV. It all traces directly back to the trackingb contest."
- Gabriel Snyder - (contest Honorable Mention and now Co-Creator of KIRBY BUCKETS on Disney XD)

"The TrackingB contest changed my life as a screenwriter. As a finalist, my script was read by industry professionals all over town, and I ended up signing with an amazing management company (Benderspink). Not only was the exposure great, but I was touched by the personal dedication the TrackingB staff put into answering questions, giving advice, and offering encouragement along the way. There is no question that this competition is the launching point of my career. Can't recommend it enough!"
- Ashleigh Powell - Finalist (& Now Sold Screenwriter after selling SOMACELL to Warner Brothers!)

"After getting an Honorable Mention I landed my first manager and sold my first feature which ended up getting made! This contest placement was the beginning of my career."
- Matias Caruso (contest Honorable Mention and now produced screenwriter with Honorable Mention script RAGE that was retitled and became the movie MAYHEM)
