Counting down: Only 14 days remain until the Academy Nicholl Fellowships Final Deadline (scroll down for reader excerpt). Thus far, over 4280 screenplays have been submitted and, as of yesterday, 4277 entries had been Confirmed. When Confirmed, you can see your scripts entry number on the Copy for your Records page in your Nicholl account. If youre planning to enter over the next two weeks, before logging in to your Academy Nicholl account to complete the application process, be sure to: - Read the Rules. - Know the genre(s) of your script. - Write a log line for your script (no longer than 300 characters, including spaces). - Check your PDF to make sure it doesnt include your name or any other identifying information. - Check your PDF to make sure that it is the correct draft. - Save your PDF in a convenient place on your computer so that you can upload it easily. - Have a credit card in hand. Quick advice if the Application gives you problems on any page: switch to a different browser and/or clear your cache of temporary internet files. Dont enter today if you plan to rewrite or polish your screenplay over the next week or two. Wait to enter until youre convinced that your script is as good as it can be. Dont enter if you think the competition is a lottery and that any script, whatever its quality, has a chance to win. Poor and mediocre scripts will not do well in the competition. Dont enter if you expect the Academy Nicholl Fellowships to provide notes that will help you improve your script. We are not a notes services and do not provide notes to every entrant. Reader Comment Excerpt, as always drawn from a high-scoring 2014 entry: A pleasure to read from start to finish. I actually laughed out loud in several parts. Sharp, funny writing with a Raising Arizona feel, bursting with affection for its goofball losers. To reach the Rules, Application and FAQs, visit the Academy Nicholl home page, linked below:
