Big Break is an annual, global screenwriting contest designed to support emerging creative talent. Big Break rewards screenwriters with cash, prizes and A-list executive meetings. Winners and finalists alike have had their screenplays optioned and produced and have secured high-profile representation as well as lucrative writing deals.
Since its inception in 2000, Big Break has awarded screenwriters with over $100,000 in cash and prizes and invaluable industry exposure. A panel of notable industry professionals conducts the final judging.
The 2007 contest brought in 3,500 entries.
Script writing depends on the Tab and Enter keys for almost all of the formatting, making it very simple to learn and use. Though it lacks the flexibility and heavy-duty features of Final Draft or Movie Magic, it works quite well as a simple writing program, and creates files compatible with any other Word-equipped computer.
