This is the moment we’ve all been waiting for. The Tracking Board is proud to announce our 2016 Launch Pad Pilots Competition Grand Prize Winners, as well as the winner of our Lee Stobby Entertainment Guaranteed Signing prize and our three Pilots Competition Mentorship winners.
With 24 of this year’s writers now signed, and more than 160 since the Launch Pad Competition began just three years ago, we’re incredibly thrilled to present the pilots our judges deemed the best of the best. This year, we received over 1,500 scripts that spanned every genre from an incredibly diverse pool of writers from all over the globe, giving us our most competitive group of pilots in the three years of this competition. We are so proud of those who have come through our competition and gone on to establish promising careers in the industry and excited to usher in the next wave.
All three of our Overall Winners this year are female writers, each of whom created incredible stories featuring unforgettable characters. From laugh out loud comedy to darkly realistic dramas, this year’s Launch Pad Pilots Winners all tackle our modern world from different angles while showcasing the powerful and unique voices of these remarkably talented writers.
Our 2016 Pilots Mentors, Anslem Richardson, Andy Heriaud and Kaitlin Kelly, have selected three fantastic writers and will guide them as they get their scripts ready, share tips and strategies on pitching and choosing their next project, and insight on how to navigate a newly minted career in Hollywood.
Last but not least, Lee Stobby of Lee Stobby Entertainment has selected the winner of our Guaranteed Signing prize!
Thank you again to all who participated in this year’s competition. Now we present to you our winners, their scripts and their loglines from our 2016 competition.
