Nicholl Winner Schut Ineligible to Win Since Sold In '02?

I saw the list of winners for the Nicholl Fellowship and one name looked familiar. I typed Bragi Schut's name in and sure enough there was a deal listed on scriptsales.com which announced a rewrite was being done to a Bragi Schut script that sold in October 2002. The company was Phoenix Pictures so it made me wonder how his deal could have been for less than $5000. Because, if it wasn't, then he'd be ineligible for the 2003 Nicholl contest and someone else should have won. Here's the URL, scroll down near the bottom, look for the script "The Last Voyage of the Demeter" and check out when Schut originally sold it:

Now I know there could possibly be two Bragi Schuts or it could have been a deal for less than $5000 somehow, but it just seemed weird.
