This is my second year in the competition and I am curious how many writers are returning and how many are taking part for the first time.

I'm thinking about trying this myself, I wrote s screenplay a few years back, a horror one for the project
green light contest, I thought it was fun and a challenge
but that contest seemed fixed to me, that guy that one the first time pete whats his name worked in the biz before and wasnt a real newbie to film making, did anyone else try for that contest? What was your experiences at this writing competion?

I had a great time last year.
 
I thought the contest was very professionally run and the people I met here on the forums were a lot of fun.

I'm a short story kind of girl:  took creative short story writing classes in college and did pretty well.  So this will be my first time out doing screen writing.  It's different than narrative writing, so it'll be a challenge for me.
I've turned the other cheek so many damn times, I'm down to my butt cheeks...again.

This is my first time in the screenwriting contest.  Two years ago I entered a film in the Midnight Run.  It was a blast and learned a lot.  This should be likewise.

I was here last year and came second in my heat to Chris.  This year I will have my revenge Wink

Since last year I've started writing for DVDactive.com.  That will no doubt be the first of many shameless plugs for the site.

Revenge, against me?  I hope you're not in my heat again. Smile

It's the greatest DVD news and review site on the internet Clap

I'm looking forward to this year's competition.  I've done a bit of writing for myself so I'm hoping I've improved since last year.  You never know though... it all depends on the genre/subject combo!

I am a DVD addict so I will definitely check that site out.
 
As for the screenwriting competition, there is definitely an element of luck with the genre each person ends up with.

Second timer - da nada before.  Lurked around this here forum till my entry got the bum's rush.

NYCMMM last year hinted at filming an entrant doing the 24 hour frenzy.  Wonder if anything came of that?
