Inkitt\u2019s biggest-ever writing contest is calling for cinematic biographical fiction about the founders who changed our world. Here\u2019s everything you need to know. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The architects of Silicon Valley, the college dropouts, the rebels, the obsessives who rewired how we live, work, and connect, are among the most fascinating people of our era. And yet the definitive, cinematic version of their stories? It doesn\u2019t exist yet, and t<\/span>hat\u2019s the story Inkitt wants you to write.<\/span><\/p>\n

We’ve launched The Visionaries Writing Contest 2026<\/a>, and with it, the largest prize in Inkitt history: $10,000 and a feature film adaptation for the best biographical narrative inspired by a visionary of the modern tech era.<\/span><\/p>\n

What We\u2019re Looking For
\n<\/b>We want a compelling, cinematic biography of a real or thinly fictionalized tech founder\u00a0 –\u00a0 their origin story, their obsessions, their failures, and what drove them to change everything. Biopic, founder drama, tech origin story, docudrama, and historical fiction are all welcome. Go beyond the myth. We want the human behind the legend\u00a0 –\u00a0 the doubt, the gamble, the moment before everything changed.<\/span><\/p>\n
