Without further ado, we proudly present our Top 50 (semifinalists.) You guys are the elites, the best of the best. At least until we name our top ten, that is! Which will be right around Halloween. Nice work, all!
If you’re not on this list, we sympathize, but just keep in mind there were many scripts on the cusp. We had to draw the line somewhere. Please note that these numbers are not rankings; the list below is in alphabetical order. And if you’re wondering where your feedback form is, they started going out last week and will continue all this week (it takes us a while to get them all out — we have to send each one individually.)
Thanks again to everyone who participated, and remember, we are here to help.

QUESTION: Noticed a script that wasn't listed on Moviebytes or WOTS as a quarterfinalist on 9/23/11 is now listed as semi (and quarter) finalist. (Script is No. 41 on Semifinals list) Late entry maybe?
That one was a CI submission that slipped through the cracks, but the error has been corrected.
Still haven't received my feedback…
Entered 2 screenplays, 1 is a semi-finalist, the other is not. I understand if you're not sending out feedback on the one still in contention, but today is October 17 and I still haven't received feedback on the other one.
Entered one script but paid for 2 reads. Got only 1 feedback form back. If there are two reads, aren't there two feedbacks?
You guys, please contact Portia at writerstorm@gmail.com. She'll get you all straight. Can't do much about anonymous posts.

I second that! I didn't get my feedback on time either, but I contacted Portia and got it yesterday. Email them. 🙂
