F.A.Q.

Are multiple entries allowed?
Yes. However, you need to submit a separate application form and fee for each entry.

How will I know if the 1,000 entry limit has been reached?
We will post a very clear notice on all the relevant pages indicating that the contest limit has been reached. We leave sufficient leeway in order for projects to still be eligible if they arrive after the announced closing date.

Why do you need three months to get the winning projects to the studios etc.?
That's how long they can take to read material.

Are children's stories admissible?
Absolutely.

How long can a short story be?
Short stories must be 10,000 words or less. Anything longer is considered a book.

If I'm younger than 18, can I still participate?
Yes, of course. However, you must have at least one parent (or legal guardian) sign the application form in addition to your own signature.
