As well as the associated publicity, the winning script will receive UK Film Festival Winner's Laurels and will be passed to various production companies for possible production. It should be noted that most years since the competition began the winning script has gone into production, has been optioned or is now in pre-production.  5 of the winning writers' resulting films have subsequently gone on to win film festivals around the world including 2 of them winning the Berlin Film Festival Crystal Bears for Best short Film in consecutive years - as well as Best in Fest at the Aesthetica Film Festival, the Siver Mikeldi at the Bilbao Film Festival and Best Film at Underwire. The films have been Official Selection in 38 other film festivals around the world.  
In addition, winners of the 3 Minute Script Competition will qualify for a Final Draft 11 writing software package and and an InkTip Script Listing: This means a listing of your script on InkTip: Producers have made more than 400 films from scripts and writers they found through InkTip.
