Please take a moment to describe why you feel your contest is best able to help writers break into the industry.
Since this is a "Visual" industry, many writers are not able to show their talents because they are not able to get their films produced. By making a production or co-production deal available to the writers, they are actually able to bring their words to life on the screen.
