Just Effing Competition for 2012

Sunday, April 8th, 20122012-04-08T12:55:19Zl, F jS, Y

Well – it’s not been easy to gain the momentum necessary to get the 2012 competition off the ground, but I’ve finally done it. We were supposed to open our doors on March 30th but that didn’t happen. In fact, I was this close, really close, really, really perilously close to not doing the competition this year but a number of people hectored me to get off my behind and make it happen.

I am so very honored and tickled that entrants have enjoyed the JFEME competition enough to hector me. And it worked.

Click the JFEME competition button to the left of this blog post to read up on our new prizes and new award categories – I’m particularly excited about those! We have some other stuff we should be announcing soon but patience, grasshopper, patience… :)

Not all of our links are working, prizes will be updated and added to, things will change. Those of you who have been reading this blog for over six years or who have entered this competition before know that everything on JFEME unfolds in a perfect way. Read what Jared Kelly says about winning last year and I think you’ll see just how fun this competition is.

We will be accepting scripts as pdf’s and you can pay through paypal until we have our Without a Box account all up and running. If you have any questions about submitting or about the rules or anything else, please email me here and I’ll get back to you soon as possible.

Here are the deadlines, so you can do your planning:

Early Bird Deadline: May 12th ($45)
Regular Deadline: June 15th ($50)
Extended Deadline: July 1st ($55)
Final Deadline: July 12th ($65)
