From the Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting

This was in my email inbox today. Just as I was giving kudos to myself someone else decides to do it too!

---

As you may know, each year I give recognition to writers whose scripts were just outside the small group that advanced to the Nicholl Quarterfinals. This year, due to time constraints, I was unable to place that note on scripts beyond the next 100 after the quarterfinalists. I apologize for that.

This e-mail is to let you know that your script Plastic placed in the Top 15% of all scripts entered in the 2007 Nicholl Fellowships competition.

What does this mean? Here are the breakdowns:

253 scripts advanced to the Nicholl Quarterfinal Round.
108 scripts including ties were among the next 100 scripts. From script #254-361.
147 scripts including ties were among the top 10%. From script #362-508.
254 scripts including ties were among the top 15%. From script #509-762.
271 scripts including ties were among the top 20%. From script #763-1033.

Best of luck with all of your screenwriting endeavors. May you soon no longer be eligible to enter the Nicholl competition.

Yours,

Greg Beal
