MillimeterFinal Draft Announces Third Annual International Screenwriting Contest
Nov 9, 2001 12:00 PM
Encino, Calif. (October 29, 2001) - Final Draft, Inc. (www.finaldraft.com), makers of the top-selling screenplay software Final Draft, announced today that it has begun taking entries for its annual "Big Break" International Screenplay Contest. Now in its third year, the contest has become one of the most popular in Hollywood due to previous winners' success and its generous payout.
The first contest's winner "Dawg," by Ken Hastings, has been produced and shot by Gold Circle Films (starring Elizabeth Hurley and Denis Leary), and last year's winner "Breathing Underwater," by Torye Mullins, has been optioned by Stephen J. Cannell Studio.
This year's winner will receive $10,000, plus an all-expense-paid, 3-day visit to Los Angeles to take meetings with studio executives and agents. Second prize is $3,000; third prize is $1,000. The top ten winners will be submitted to a Hollywood literary agent, and will receive a copy of Final Draft Scriptwriting Software, a one-year subscription to Creative Screenwriting Magazine and Script Magazine, a $50 gift certificate from The Writer's Computer Store and a copy of The Hollywood Creative Directory Producers Guide.
Complete contest rules and entry forms may be downloaded from http://www.finaldraft.com/bigbreak.
Deadline for entries is March 15, 2002.
