    Or are only the honorable mentions and finalists ever passed on to industry readers?

    Does anyone else know of anyone being picked up through this contest even if they didn't place?

    It's a bit hard to work that out based on the website.

    On the finalists and honorable mentions (8 last year) get industry exposure.

      I didn't get a "solid logline" either. I blame it on the fact that my logline is, in fact, hollow.

        That's weird. I got an "okay, we'll read it" with an audible heavy sigh of dispair.

            I think what really shook him was my inability to spell "despair", lol.

              Honorable mentions and finalists coming up in January....

              Does anyone know if they announce anything before that? QF or 2d round or whatever?

                They do not. Only the top 8 (honorable mentions and finalists) are announced.

                  i hate those drag out contests. no one cares if you're a freakin' quarterfinalist or even semi-finalist anyway.

                      I don't think this really needed to be said, but the NIcholl is an obvious exception to this. A semi-finalist -- and perhaps even a quarter-finalist -- placement in the Nicholl is something that can literally start a career.

                        Even quarterfinaling in the Nicholl generates reads. Some 200 reps and prodcos ask to receive the list of contacts from QF up and then decide which scripts they want to request.

                          Anyone know how many scripts TrackingB got this year?

                          And is it over 50% DDP?

                            The Insider told me it is more than last year which was 828. He said when he gets a tally and time to breath he'll give me a number.


                            Just a heads up for everyone -- if you place in the top 8 or so you will receive and email anywhere from 2-3 weeks before the results are announced. So if it's a week before results go out and you haven't heard anything, then chances are... slim.

                            But hopefully everyone who entered here did well

                              methinks there is a huge population of wannabe screenwriters that never, ever come around here. the idea that 500 scripts came from the DDP pop is a bit ridiculous. however, it would be cool if 50% of the winning 8 came from DDP.

                                I think that's in the realm of possibility, given the level of talent here.
