Hey, Cloaked .... I can't find your entry ... I don't think a 5 page sequence out of what may or may not be a fulll screenplay would disqualify, if it could stand alone ...

They seek him here, they seek him there, those damned writers seek him everywhere.

Would be interested to see where it says a 1000 words or just the opening to a screenplay? As I said earlier everything I've ever seen on this (apart from 1 email they quickly corrected) has made it clear it's a complete 5 page screenplay.

DBA - I agree, everything I've seen here is a complete screenplay. But if you were just going by the info supplied by NYCM, and didn't check this forum, you might not be clear. Have a look at the info and see if you agree.

In the Official Rules and Participation Agreement, it says:

11. Genre, Location & Object Assignment – In each challenge, writers are assigned a genre, location and object assignment for their screenplays. All screenplays must be 1,000 words or less, must be created within the competition periods (listed below in paragraph #16) and must include the genre, location and object assignment.

Heather - send that over to NYCM in an email. That's a mistake they need to be aware of.

Geek  Well, I dunno ... Is it a mistake?  My screenplay is 1200 words ... but it is 5 + 1 pages ... maybe they did want a word limit ... well, I'm up 5hit Creek now! 

I still think Cloaked should put his screenplay in the review section ... a lot of shorts have open ends ... let's see what the plebs say without knowing the situation ...

I'm pretty sure it is a mistake. The previous competition to kick off was the Flash Fiction, where the word limit was 1,000 words. I think it's just a hang over from that.
