Re: Would you enter screenplay in a competition that's not polished?
Thanks, Greg.
This is basically what I felt was the right thing to do, and it's great to have the confirmation that I'll be fine.
After entering, I'll let the script rest for a while, and then I will decide if I can enter it as is (or with minor rewrites) into the Nicholl Fellowships competition or if it needs more work (or if I have new ideas) and enter it taking advantage of the late deadline.
In regards to the late deadline: I always heard that entering earlier is better, as readers are getting increasingly spaced out the more scripts they have read. A late entry would decrease the chance of placing well, because the readers have gone insane. Do you think this is - to use a Larry David-ism - pretty, pretty, pretty correct - or another one of those internet ghost stories?
