TITAN Screenwriting Contest

Announcing the 2024 TITAN Awards Grand Finalists

So, this is it for 2024.

After the initial rounds of intense inter-category competition and the quarter-final announcement in August, we were delighted to announce the Semi-Finalists of The 2024 TITAN Screenwriting Contest, as promised, on the 31st August 2024. Finally, on 16th September 2024, the contest reached its penultimate stage.

Today, however (Monday 30th September 2024) is THE big day.

Because today, we announce both the three Grand Finalist screenplays, their respective Gold-Silver-Bronze finishing order, and The Wildcard and The Pearl award winners.

You can use the quick links below to view the Grand Final winners, as well as a full list of the category winners and Finalists we announced in October.

Both category winners and Grand Finalists will receive their prize packages shortly, with the latter embarking on a year-long programme of support, script marketing and coaching from the IS team, as well as being personally introduced to our “titans” of industry.

Finally, on behalf of everyone at Industrial Scripts we want to take a moment to commend all entrants to this second instalment of The TITAN Screenwriting Contest.

It’s hard enough to finish a screenplay or creative work in the first place, to put it out into the world and compete and risk failure takes guts, ambition and a thick skin.

To all entrants, it’s worth recalling an attitude – nay, the only attitude – which gets writers ahead in any creative arena:

“By the time I was fourteen, the nail in my wall would no longer support the weight of the rejection slips impaled upon it.

I simply replaced the nail with a spike, and went on writing.”

So well done to everyone who submitted to The TITAN in 2024, and look out for the next awards, launching in early 2025.

Best wishes for the holiday season,

Victoria Carrington, General Manager

About The TITAN Screenwriting Contest

The TITAN Awards is a screenwriting contest whereby material competes against its own kind for as long as possible over the course of a contest cycle.

Horror feature vs Horror feature, Series Bible vs Series Bible, Sci-Fi vs Sci-Fi, 1 Page Pitch vs 1 Page Pitch etc.

The TITAN Awards are rare in talent discovery terms in that they are judged by genuinely heavyweight industry figures, with appropriately high-level credits on major movies and TV shows.

2024 TITAN Partners and Sponsors

Industrial Scripts would like to extend its sincere thanks to this year’s awards sponsors and partners.

The TITAN Awards is kindly partnered with and supported by leading non-profit bottled water company Belu, who have donated over $7m to WaterAid, to-date, as well as leading screenwriting software providers Arc Studio Pro and Final Draft.

Without the kind support of these organisations the contest would have commenced on a weaker footing, and we’re endlessly grateful for their support.

The 2024 GRAND FINAL Winners

In an extremely close final vote, our three “titans” of industry voted for the contest’s Gold-Silver-Bronze order.

Their decision was absolutely independent of both one another, and IS staff, consultants or employees, to ensure as fair a competition as possible.

Without further ado, then, here was the judges’ final order…
