Well, the deed is done. Signed up, my first screenwriting contest ever. And right before early registration ends.

Timing for Round 1 is AWFUL for me. But I signed up. Because I have a problem.

You spotted some changes in the rules, right?

I paid up my $45 today and then realised I'm away for the entire week. Doh. I'll try and get something down while I'm away because yes, I too have a problem. I think I'll be trapped in an endless cycle of these NYC competitions forevermore... And loving it.

What were the rule changes mentioned?

Something like 'you may only submit once', so when it's up, it's up (if you pardon the expression) - no submitting different drafts as the deadline approaches... It'll be on the page.

Must admit, I've signed up but don't know when it starts :) A problem shared is a problem.......well, shared. Round 2 of Short story is the one that'll be almost impossible for me, IF I make it through. Ach well. 

Yeah. Addictive.

I decided to read the Official Rules and thought this was curious:

“Creative Development” includes, but is not limited to, writing an ORIGINAL logline and short screenplay, from first draft to final draft, within the Challenge Screenplay Window. No revisions or missing pages will be accepted once the first attempt at an entry has been received by the LLC. Do NOT supplement your entry with any subsequent mailings or forwarding of documents, as such will be grounds for disqualification and forfeiture of any Entry Fee."
