Film financing contests with money as the prize are a great way to get money to make a movie. Several great advantages of film funding with prize money are:
- The money does not have to be paid back to any investors
- Winning a contest is great, free publicity by the prize company
- Winning a contest, whether for best screenplay, best trailer, etc is a sure sign your movie has potential at the box office and a built-in audience, all factors that will lead to film success.
