THE HAZARD LEADERBOARDLEADERBOARD

The Wall of Fame is not a participation board. Read these once and you will know exactly how a seat is earned and what it is worth.

THE 4.0 SCALE — 300 POINTS

• Since Update 4.0 (Oct. 1, 2026), Don Chuy scores 15 categories from 1 to 20, for a total out of 300.
• Reads from before 4.0 keep their original score out of 225 and the laurel they earned. Those cards carry a “/ 225” tag, and nothing earned is ever taken away.

GOLDEN LAUREL — 275+ IN THREE CATEGORIES

• Film — a full assessment scoring 275 or higher out of 300.
• Television — a full assessment of a 30- or 60-minute pilot scoring 275 or higher out of 300.
• Stage & Page — plays and books scoring 275 or higher out of 300, in their own room. A book split into parts competes with its one overall book score.
• Each category is its own award with its own emblem: a film camera, television set, or antique book. A writer can hold all three at once.

THE SCORE LADDER (OUT OF 300)

• 279+ — Producer-read consideration through Hazard Talent Management.
• 275+ — Golden Laurel, after a human check that the work is your own.
• 267+ — Elite: comped membership, bonus assessments and read consideration.
• 240+ — Don Chuy Approved.
• 190–274.9 — Silver Laurel seat in your genre room.
• 167+ — Headshot unlock on original work.

WHAT EACH LAUREL COLOR MEANS

• Gold — a verified score of 275+ out of 300 in its category.
• Silver — 190 to 274.9 out of 300, with 15 seats per genre and category.
• Blue — an active Scriptageddon Elite paid member.
• Emerald — a Completionist who earned all 32 trophies; Elite status is included.

SILVER LAUREL — 15 SEATS PER ROOM

• 190 to 274.9 out of 300 in every category. Rooms are split by category first, then by genre, so a pilot never competes against a feature.
• Write across genres and you can hold a seat in every room you crack — a thriller, a comedy and a horror script at 190+ means three laurels.
• Ties go to the better three-score average inside that room. That average decides the true winner.

HOW A SCORE QUALIFIES

• Full assessments only. A score-only read — first 60 or last 60 pages — earns craft trophies but never a laurel.
• Only your best score per script counts. Re-reads and revisions of the same project do not stack into extra seats.
• Every score at the gold line goes to a human verification check first: we confirm the pages are your own original work, not a produced or published property, before a Golden Laurel is certified.
• Laurels are permanent and dated. A new season adds seats; it never takes an earned laurel away from you.
• Seating is automatic for opted-in writers. Your pen name is used when set, otherwise your account display name. Hidden project titles stay hidden.
• Your card holds five projects. Star the ones you want shown from your dashboard — leave them unstarred and the board seats your five best.

WHAT A LAUREL GETS YOU

• A laurel badge on your public writer profile, visible to anyone searching for talent.
• Your name and headshot on this wall, linked straight to your profile — you decide what that page reveals.
• Priority placement when industry members browse for writers.
• A headshot unlock at 167 or higher out of 300, so your photo, title, score and bio run together up here.
• At 267 and up, the Elite room: comped membership, bonus assessments and read consideration.
