Re: Contests/Services/Script Guru's You Had a Good Time With
I realize you don't understand this: I took offense when you made statements that weren't true. Also when you observed that I had made claims that I had not made. BTW, when you make statements that aren't true that place the Nicholl competition in a bad light, you are attacking the competition.
How do you leap from when those four writers won to the conclusion that the industry is not as interested in Nicholl winners than they were ten years ago? How many reps did you speak with? The number of reps and producers who request the Nicholl lists are up considerably in recent years against 10-15 years ago.
Regarding the downturn in entries: did you know that we have had great difficulties in switching to an online application system that possibly caused many people not to enter over the past three years? And that the problems have caused us to make the application form available considerably later than in previous years? And that due to the problems, we have not advertised in any form or made any concerted marketing effort during this period?
And what's with the comment about the $150,000+ in entry fees? You do realize that we award $150,000 in fellowships each year, spend as much on reading the scripts, spend considerable amounts on the awards ceremony and fellows week in Hollywood, in addition to having staff and overhead expenses.
