Who entered the Nicholl?

[Presto]

I have three in this year. Last year I got a "P.S. Two positive reads" but did not place. Am hoping for better this year - will know in August.

The big change this year is that all entries will be read at least twice - a great change in my opinion. Great ship the Nicholl.

I'm in with two. One made quarterfinals last year and has been upgraded. One is new. Also hoping to do better this year.

I entered one at the previous deadline. A major rewrite of a script that fell in the next 100 after the quarterfinal cutoff in 2010.

How did you know that? I thought all you were told was whether or not you made the first cut/quarter finals.

I'm in with only one and it's new.

Found this on moviebytes posted by Greg Beal. Not sure if it was posted in 2010 or 2011.

What does the PS Note in the Notification Email Mean

Here are the different PS notes that were written on entrants' email notifications. Placement was determined on the basis of the two highest scores for each script. Each group includes ties.

''PS:Your script was among the next 100 scripts that just missed advancing to the quarterfinals.'' After the 351 quarterfinalists, these were the highest scoring scripts. All were read three times. Places 352 — 459. 108 entries.

''PS: Your script was among the top 10% of all entries.'' This group falls just below the next 100 scripts. All were read three times. Places 460 — 684. 225 entries.

''PS: Your script was among the top 15% of all entries.'' This is the next group in line. Many were read three times; some were read twice. Places 685 — 1021. 337 entries.

''PS: Your script was among the top 20% of all entries.'' These scripts received two positive reads but none received a high enough score to generate a third read. Places 1022 — 1361. 340 entries.

''PS: Your script received two positive reads.'' These scripts received two positive reads but did not score high enough to be among the top 20%. Places 1362 — 2153. 792 entries

''PS: Your script was highly rated by one reader.'' These scripts received one strong positive score, high enough to be eligible to be among the reader comment excerpts posted on Facebook, but then received two negative reads. We only counted places for scripts with two positive scores. 23 entries.

Iggy, thanks so much for digging up this info.

Greg said they will send out emails for each and every submission in late July. Did not realize there would be details above and beyond "You're a quarter finalist" or "Sorry, you did not make the quarter final round."

In the past, though, the majority of entries did not fit into the above categories and thus did not receive an extra note. I think the posted notes were from 2010. Notice the 2153 count at the end, which leaves over 4000 entrants without extra recognition.

My partner and I threw out two: One is the action/comedy feature spec that greatly exceeded our expectations by placing in another contest earlier this year, and the other is an hour-format original sci-fi/action/comedy TV pilot spec that has gotten some great notes, and that we have high hopes for.

So, fingers crossed!

I'm a Nicholl first-timer! I entered a coming-of-age drama.

Good luck to everyone.
