Rajneel Singh has been working nights for the last few months, so it wasn’t until he got up and had his afternoon coffee that he checked his email to find a message from Your Big Break.
“I was still half asleep, and had to re-read the email carefully, in case it was a rejection letter,” he [...]

Put down your pens. Close those laptops. Take off your thinking caps. Put your feet up and breathe a long sigh of relief.
Because you deserve it, each and every one of you. You’ve done yourselves – and Your Big Break – proud.
Submissions have closed, and voting for the Viewers’ Choice has ended. If your entry [...]

ANNOUNCEMENT DATE
The moment of truth approaches. On January 19th, the judges – who include Barrie Osbourne – will convene to select their four picks. Rounding out the final five will be the Viewers’ Choice. Then, on January 22nd, the five finalists will be announced at www.your-big-break.com. For around five hundred of you, that will mean [...]

The five finalists have just been announced on the website …
… and you’re one of them.
Your phone’s ringing, but you can’t find it. You scramble through your stuff, searching … patting your pockets, frantic now … you answer just in time. Your hunch was right: the call is long-distance, from New Zealand. There isn’t much [...]

CAPTURING THE THEME
One week. Two days. Twenty-One hours. I’m looking at the countdown timer and that’s what it says right this second.
