A lot of people are asking about the BSSC qualifiers. Please bear with us we are working through the submissions as quickly as possible. We will be publishing the list of first round qualifiers on this website on Friday 24th August. Good luck to you all!

It is official the BSSC is closing down and the very last opportunity to enter the “best and the most prestigious screenplay competition in the world” is just a matter of hours away. The final deadline for this last opportunity is midnight Friday 6th July.

A number of people have asked what we mean by midnight, and midnight where?

As this is an international competition and we have friends across the world entering the BSSC every year, we will allow entries right up until midnight passes the international dateline. That will allow everyone ample scope to get their entries in before the submission form is taken down from the website.

And please, all you geography majors don’t start writing in telling us about the IDLs and UTCs!We’re just trying to be fair to everyone, OK!

All that remains to be said is good luck to you all!

A lot of people have been asking to watch the multi-award winning film THE HAPPINESS SALESMAN.

Kaos Films are delighted to announce that you can watch this psychological masterpiece written by Steve Gomez, directed by BAFTA nominated Krish Majumdar and starring Christopher Eccleston and Archie Panjabi on youtube now - the Kaos Films youtube channel is kaosfilmsuk or simply click here The Happiness Salesman

The BSSC final deadline is 6th July 2012.

Some people are asking if there’s any truth in the rumour that the BSSC 2012 is the very last and that there will be no more.

Well, sadly it is true. We have had wonderful eleven years and made some fantastic films of the winning scripts and one or two runners up too!

So, thank you to everyone involved with the BSSC and those who supported the competition over the last eleven years, the sponsors, the judges and a special thanks to the writers who took part every year.

Lets try and make the final BSSC the very best!
