Is there anyone else that would be up for posting their heat entry for review by other contestants and just us writer's taking a vote on the best in each heat / overall? (Of course it would only include those brave or crazy souls willing to share!)
One of the "Black-belts" could help us set-up the voting board - one vote per contestant per script...
Just an idea...

The first annual "Night-Writer Peer Award"!!

I hate to be a "negative nancy", but usually there are only 3 or 4 scripts posted per heat and I think this is bound to lead to hurt feelings and apt to discourage some people from sharing their scripts.

Yeah, I'm inclined to agree with Chris on this one. It can be stressful getting all that feedback while waiting for the judges' decision, and to have a contest within the contest might be too much. I think it'll probably end up being pretty clear from the comments which scripts people are enjoying the most, without making it a formal thing.
