A ruined wasteland awards hall with a salvaged trophy under amber lights

Free writer drawing · October 15, 2026

Two writers. Two major prizes. Up to three tickets each.

Join Scriptageddon before the cutoff and you are in. Premium membership and verified Gold Laurel Elite status can each add one more chance—but no purchase is necessary.

Prize choice A

Six months of IMDbPro + six months of Scriptageddon Premium

Each winner receives access through an existing paid IMDbPro group account, plus six months of Scriptageddon Premium with up to 15 full assessments per membership week.

One package per winner

Prize choice B

One full year of Scriptageddon Premium

Already paying for IMDbPro? Choose twelve months of Scriptageddon Premium instead. The winner chooses one prize package, not both.

One package per winner

IMDb and IMDbPro are not sponsors, administrators, or endorsers of this drawing. IMDbPro access is supplied by Scriptageddon/Hazard Talent Management from an existing paid group account.

Your ticket count

One free chance. Two ways to earn another.

1

Create a free writer account

Every eligible registered writer receives one ticket automatically. Existing accounts count too.

+1

Have active monthly Premium

An active $4.99 monthly Premium plan at the cutoff adds a second ticket.

+1

Earn verified Gold Elite

A verified Golden Laurel adds a third ticket. A qualifying score still awaiting human verification does not count yet.

Maximum: 3 tickets per writer

One person, one account. Premium and Gold status improve the odds only by adding a ticket; they do not guarantee a win. There is no separate entry form.
