The best writing
The best page written for the brief. Every page gets the same reading, scored out of 5 on its story, its characters, its words, how it plays on screen and how it answers the brief. The highest score wins.

For screenwriters
One page. Three steps to a laurel.
No camera, no crew, no budget. The Brief is for writers: the page is the whole entry.
- Download the page format.
Our one-page screenplay format opens in Word, Google Docs and Pages, with each part of a screenplay ready as a style. Using Final Draft, WriterDuet or Celtx? Write in the standard layout there.
- Write one page for the brief.
On the theme and to the rule, one page of screenplay and no more, written for this round: it opened Saturday 26 September.
- Upload it as a PDF.
Save your page as a PDF and enter it here with its title by the end of Wednesday 21 October. One page each. Members read the pages and vote until the end of Saturday 31 October. Every page gets the same reading and the best writing wins; People’s Choice goes to the most votes.
