Re: Nicholl finalists
I'm curious to know if, after Nicholl was opened up to all writers (I believe it started as a contest for California writers only, though I'm unsure when it made the jump) of the five finalists, more than two were NOT from Southern California.
I don't have the past ten years or so of winners handy, (so perhaps I am wrong) but it seems every year 3-4 winners are from Southern Cali or the LA area and 1-2 are from elsewhere.
Is it possible that one year all five winners will be from outside of CA?
I'm sure the bulk of the entries are from CA, but if the contest is completely blind to the locale of the writers it stands to reason that this could happen eventually.
