RULES

Scripts must be completely original. This is not a contest for OFFICE or COLD CASE specs, or reality shows.  We are open to any and all genres and lengths of scripted work. Just make sure the work is the pilot for a TV show and is your own creation in full.

TIMELINE & PROCESS

All entered scripts will be read by trackingb staff who will select their top choices. Then, The Insider will consult with the industry panel to get their thoughts (based on concept/summary alone) on the top selections, and take their opinions into account in the selection of five finalists. Judges will read the finalist scripts and select an Overall Winner at our judge’s dinner. Soon after (early June), the finalists and winner will be announced on trackingb.com.
