  • 2009 Expo Screenplay Competition results

    Does anyone know if they announce quarterfinalists, semifinalists, ext., before the actual Expo? I know they announce winners during the Expo, but wasn't sure if we'd find out anything before that.

    They will announce the QF list sometime today, October 1st. At least they said they were.

    Good Luck!

        I'm wondering if it was only the CS Open they were announcing QT finalists for today.

          According to the Withoutabox site, the feature screenplay competition QF were supposed to be announced today. However, if memory serves they weren't punctual last year.

          Seems unethical to make people wait until they're AT the expo to find out if they at least made the quarterfinals. I'd give it until tomorrow, then e-mail Pasha, the expo contest coordinator. She's good people...

            Pasha emailed me on Tuesday (9/29) with this update:

            "We are almost done....we should have the QT finalist before the end of the week...."

              Thanks for the head's up, guys. I had read about in previous years where they had had some issues with getting the results out promptly. This is the first time I've entered the competition, so I'm not jaded yet.

                I agree. Although the contest unfolded in a terrible manner last year, Pasha was so wonderful and helpful.

                    I was hoping so, but chances are looking slim.

                              The update is appreciated, but selecting Quarterfinalists at this late date creates an insane time constraint:

                              The Screenplay Competition Awards are scheduled to be announced on Thurs. Oct 15, right?

                              So that gives the judges just ten days to pick semifinalists, finalists and winners. if an entrant who does not plan on going to the Expo wins either Grand Prize or Category prize and lives out of the LA area, how is that person supposed to plan their Expo trip on such very short notice?

                              Or is it blatantly obvious the winners will only be selected from those already registered for the Expo?
