BFSC Prizes
Winners
The winning screenplay will be produced with a budget of up to $2 million.
The winning writer will be required to sign an assignment (writers agreement) which will offer the writer a purchase price (rights fee) of not less than 1% of the budget with a floor of 15,000 US Dollars and a ceiling of 40,000 US Dollars less any sums paid - payable on the first day of principal photography of the film. This fee will be pro-rated downwards if a credit were to be shared with any other writer.
In the case of the work originating from multiple writers the writers agreement will treat the multiple writers as one entity.
The writer shall also be entitled to sums equal to one percent (1.0%) of Kaos Films’ share of profits of The Film produced.
In the event that Kaos Films has to commission other writer or writers such that he/she receives a shared credit with the original writer/s this percentage shall be reduced to one-half percent (0.5%).

The first runner-up of the British Feature Screenplay competition will receive a Macbook worth nearly $1350.
If the winner has an agent the next runner-up without an agent will get representation from Katharine Vile of United Agents.
