We will also send ONE COURTESY email with your feedback if you provide your email address.  Be sure your mail server does not block emails from the servers @creativescreenwriting.com and @screenwritingexpo.com in order to receive your score and feedback.  However: email delivery is unreliable due to spam filters.  If you receive it by email, great.  But the official posting of all Cyberspace Open information is at or through this page.  We wil NOT re-send if an email does not get through.  Come to this page.

How Contestants Will Receive The Premises And Announcements

To guard against the contest server bogging down, the Round 1 premise and email addresses to send entries will be posted at 5:00 p.m. Pacific time at the top of this page and at:

In addition, a COURTESY email will be sent a few minutes before the posting time with the same information.  If you receive this courtesy email, great--please don't rush to the server.  It will have the same information.  However, mass email proved unreliable last time.  So if you do not receive the email by 5:00 p.m., please visit the server.  Remember: under the Rules, the email is a courtesy aimed at keeping the server from bogging down.  It is your responsibility to download the premise if you do not receive the email within a few minutes after 5:00 P.M.

All subsequent contest announcements will be posted near the top of this page or at links from the top of this page.
