Objective
The Launch Pad Competitions have led to more signings, success stories and careers than any other screenwriting competition. With a decade of experience in promoting up-and-coming writers, The Launch Pad Competition has firmly established itself as the premier hub for Hollywood to discover fresh voices and new ideas. We advocate for all of our Top 100 finalists, working with them to share their work with the right industry members to advance their career.
Our prestigious juries of industry members include managers, agents, producers and executives at companies across Hollywood. We also offer exclusive partnerships with management and production companies to give writers an extra leg up.
Through these partnerships, as well as our exclusive mentorship opportunities, we seek to provide as many avenues towards success as possible. Show More

Tracking Board Names Launch Pad Winners
Charlie Neubauer's The Shell has been named the Overall Winner of the 2016 Launch Pad Feature Competition. The script, described as MINORITY REPORT meets TRANSCENDENCE is a sci-fi thriller:
In a future where death has been eradicated thanks to a revolutionary technology that allows people to be resurrected, a petty criminal is tasked with solving the seemingly impossible murder of its inventor - his mother.
The top drama in this year's contest was Dan Hall's Submerged, about a group of plane crash survivors trapped in a shrinking air pocket deep beneath the ocean's surface. The top comedy was Derby City, by Alexis Perkins, described as SAVED meets LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE, about a bartender (and small-time con artist) fleeing a criminal gambling charge who convinces a naive Mormon missionary to drive across country with her. When their truck and money are stolen, they have to resort to hustling pool in order to make it to Utah.
One of this year's finalists, Pete Barry's Marian, had already sold to Sony after a bidding war. The project will star Margot Robbie as Maid Marian, who, after Robin Hood is killed, must take on his mantle in order to avenge his murderer and save England from a secret French invasion.
