Re: Nicholl 2015...
Hey Greg, I've always wondered how folks at the Nicholl would even know if a writer made more money than the contest allows. I mean sure if it's a studio writer then there's a strong chance their name's gonna be kicking around but what about the ones whose deals haven't made the trades? Just curious is all.Comment

Re: Nicholl 2015...
Sorry to be slow to respond. Been a little crazy over the past few days.
"Total earnings" is the key phrase. The rule applies to an entrant's lifetime earnings.
When writers enter the Academy Nicholl competition, they agree that they have complied with the rules and the terms and conditions:
"That I am (we are) eligible for the competition, and that I (we) will notify the Academy Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting if I (we) become ineligible prior to the conclusion of the competition.
"That providing false or misleading information on this application, or failing in any other way to comply with the rules of the competition, will subject me (us) to disqualification, forfeiture of prize money and/or other penalties."Comment

Re: Nicholl 2015...
Is it okay to enter competition under a pen name or nick name?Comment

Re: Nicholl 2015...
No and Yes.Originally posted by JaGra View Post
You should fill out the Profile section of the application using your real name.
Then right under the First/M.I./Last name fields, you reach this question:
How do you want your name to appear on the contact list?
Now you fill in your nickname or pen name. That would be the name released to the public if you were to advance to the quarterfinals or beyond.
Since all reading is blind, no reader or judge would ever see either of your names as entered on the application form.Comment

Re: Nicholl 2015...
That element is a small thing in the grand scheme of your process, but I gotta say it's a very well-reasoned way to handle this. It serves the writer's needs and Nicholl's. (And the IRS', if there's a check to be cut.)Originally posted by gregbeal View PostComment

Re: Nicholl 2015...
Greg,
If you accidentally uploaded a Final Draft file, not a pdf, would that be disqualified? Thanks.Comment

Re: Nicholl 2015...
The Nicholl application system will only accept PDFs. All other formats are rejected automatically.Originally posted by Swansong View Post
So, no.Comment

Re: Nicholl 2015...
In case anyone makes a mistake during the Nicholl submission process (most likely culprit, uploading the wrong PDF):
DO NOT CREATE A NEW APPLICATION AND SUBMIT THE SAME SCREENPLAY A SECOND TIME.
If you happen to make an error, shoot an email to nicholl at oscars.org and we'll figure out a solution.
Of course, you need to alert us of the error soon after your submission and not two months later.
Any other problems or questions? Ask away.
