    Re: Nicholl's Notification Date Looming

    Think your about a month ahead of schedule. I think its "late" August for Semi's. Then winners in October. I don't think there are any hard dates yet but I havent looked recently.

      they say quarterfinalist letters (and disappointment letters) will be sent out BY august 1.

      so, yes, at least in my universe, the date will be soon upon us...

        I was just saying that based on the FAQ. Could be wrong. It could be outta date.

          From the Nicholl FAQs:

          late July - All entrants are notified by mail as to whether their script advanced to the quarterfinal round.
          late August - Semifinalists are notified by mail.
          early October - Finalists are notified and asked to submit supporting materials.
          late October - Fellowship recipients are notified and announced.
          mid-November - Nicholl fellows are honored at the Nicholl Awards Dinner.


          The only wild card is whether we switch from mail to e-mail, but we have some technical issues that need to be solved over the next several weeks in order to send e-mails to entrants.

            Thanks for the update, Greg.

            Just out of curiosity, what's the rationale behind having finalists submit supporting materials? Are fellows chosen based on criteria other than their screenplay?

              Please don't remind me. I'll start getting all nervous. I was doing so well until now.

              Great, now I'm nervous.

                It wouldn't even occur to me to get nervous at this point.

                  So that committee members and the Nicholl staff can learn something about the finalists.

                  The scripts earn writers Nicholl Fellowships.

                      Hey Greg,

                      just curious when do the letters start going out?

                        That pretty much answers your Q, Lordmanji.

                          Surprisingly I haven't been thinking about it much either. Maybe a quick thought or two. I thought it would've consumed me, but it hasn't.

                            Yeah, even now, I'm not freaking out. I think that's because I have the San Diego Comic Con to diffuse a lot of my thoughts away from it. I mean, it's from July 22-27, and it's going to nothing but orgasmic nerdity as I go from panel to panel for my favorite TV shows. There's a lot to look forward to there, so it makes sense that my thoughts would be deferred. I am sure once I get back, though, I will start to get nervous -- I will check the mail every day -- I will start to get obsessive. I hope not, but I can foresee it happening.

                            I'm hungry.

                              Greg (or anyone who may know),

                              Do you know if they decided yet to send out letters or emails to notify applicants?
