Highest standing
THE GOLD LAUREL
Most screenplays do not survive the blast. A handful do. The Gold Laurel is what a screenplay earns when a complete 225-point assessment comes back near the top of the scale — never bought, never awarded by hand.

The score must come from one complete full assessment of one screenplay. Partial reads, score-only reads and rewrites of the same project do not stack.

QUESTIONS WRITERS ASK
- What is a Gold Laurel?
- The highest public standing on Scriptageddon. It is awarded automatically when a complete full assessment clears the category threshold — 205 for Film, 210 for Television and Stage & Page, out of 225.
- Can a Gold Laurel be bought?
- No. There is no paid placement anywhere on Scriptageddon. Every Laurel comes from a complete read of a real screenplay.
- Can one writer hold more than one?
- Yes. Laurels are per category, so a writer who clears the bar in Film and Television wears both. Clearing all three is the Triple Crown.
- What does a Gold Laurel unlock?
- A permanent place on the Wall of Fame, a verifiable badge, and the Gold Laurel Vault — a private shelf where the writer can place their screenplay PDF and a project sheet for approved industry professionals to read.
