The British Short Screenplay Competition (BSSC) is now accepting submissions for their sixth annual competition and it will be the biggest and the best. This year for the first time the BSSC will not produce one winning screenplay but THREE winners will go into production. No other screenwriting competition in the world offers a bigger prize package to one winner let alone three!
The BSSC is often asked what is the budget of the production? Well what we can tell you is that the average budget of the last three films we produced inclusive of all the sponsorship packages was $340,000. This is the biggest prize fund package offered by any screenplay competition in the World. And now we're going to produce THREE! AND Movie Magic screenwriting software for TEN runners-up PLUS all the finalists will be invited to an interview with the panel of the NFTS writing school bypassing preliminary rounds.
