Welcome to the Official Website Of The Best Damn Movie Comp Period
TheMovieVault.net, in partnership with NationVoice Communications and BFG Technologies is proud to
announce 'The Best Damn Movie Comp Period'. Best Damn is more than just a single event, the bigger picture will allow for
a series of four rounds of competition, each round will have different criteria, and may be available to different types
of games. Each round will get progressively better, raising the bar and the prize pot.
For the first round of Best Damn the total prize purse is
$5,000 in cash and prizes. This round will be open to only three games, and we strongly encourage film makers to
participate. The winners from each round will be invited to participate in a winner takes all grand final, to be held
sometime next year. Keep in mind that this is the first round, so we will be trying out some new things in order to determine the best
possible outcome. Make sure you fully read and understand the official rules, if you are planning on participating.
Round One features several interesting challenges, including but not limited
to the production of a unique competition introduction. In order to engage interest from producers while creating the introduction, TheMovieVault.net
has decided to award a $500.00 bonus prize to the producer whos film yields the best overall competition introduction. This additional bonus is open to all producers, regardless
of their placement in the final competition. The winner of this award will be selected by representives from both TheMovieVault.net, and all participating sponsors for this event.
