Without further ado, here are the results:
Join me in offering congrats to RG55 for winning with Incident At The Lighthouse, to Colin Holmes for scoring a close second with The Puppy, and to Shutout for a close third with Beaver Creek.
Thanks to 14001 and ChickenScratch for taking time to read & vote, much appreciated.
If you didn't already know, 1st place = 3 points, 2nd = 2 points, 3rd = 1 point. Alas not everyone managed to vote in time so the 3 bonus points for voting rule kicks in to even things out. The McGuffins earned 0.5 points each, it looks like only 2 entrants used these, they weren't obligatory or anything, I thought they added an extra little fun something, but maybe not. Maybe discuss this for future contests.
If you scored lower than you would have liked, don't angst over this, you've just had practice in writing to theme and deadline, which is what these contests are about, and maybe you'll pick up some hints in the comments (which everyone is invited to post) that could strengthen your screenplay and hone your skills further. Just 'cause you didn't win, doesn't mean your script wasn't great and you're not an undiscovered genius. That's what I keep telling myself anyway.
Shout if you find any problems with the scoring or the production of this annual epic. Thanks all for entering and voting.
For posterity, the contest discussion thread is here and the entries thread is here. And just for fun the also-rans thread is here (entries that failed to make it into the contest for various reasons).
