As I always say, Becca, a contest that doesn't provide access to execs and managers that can move the needle in your career is useless. Big Break has a terrific reputation and has produced some successful writers. The people who run it truly care about helping their finalists see success Of course, I recommend ours as well. 8 of our finalists have been signed. We fly our top 3 finalists to Los Angeles for meetings and all finalists have their loglines exposed to over 550 industry executives. Here's some more info: https://www.stage32.com/happy-writers/contests/2nd-Annual-Stage-32-Happy... Wishing you all the best no matter which way you go!

My experience with Big Break is a positive one. They seem serious in all aspects and if you do some research you will always find valid individuals working for them throughout the judging process and beyond. The other one you mentioned, Becca, I don´t know much about so I´ll leave it at that. And also take RB´s word for it. All aspects of Stage 32 are great, I have no doubt about S32 Contest being equally amazing. I am submitting to S32 Contest myself soon. God help them! :) LOL .Good luck to you, Becca! :)

I got a kick out of that, Zlatan. I say, bring it on!
I am preparing the material. Some minor re-writes and polishes, you know how it is. I thought a fair warning was in order either way. :) Oh, I´ll bring... something, I guess... Let´s hope the judges don´t fall asleep reading my stuff :) Just kidding of course, looking forward to submitting and having some good feedback sent my way.
