Hi - yes, I entered in three categories. Are you through to the third round?
Sxx

I am. I wonder how many people are? It's all very unclear!

Equally I have no idea which of my stories got me to the third round! Does anyone know anything about the way the comp works exactly?

Well done Nez. Are you through too Susie?

Sorry about the huge space. Was typing on new netbook and trying to scroll down to find the Post icon....

Yes! I got two identical emails and don't know if that was a mistake or whether it means that two of my entries have got through (I entered in three categories).

Well done, Nez!
It's odd, isn't it, not to know which got through. Yes, I'm through, and got two emails, either by accident or it might mean two of my entries went through??
I asked Zara last time but didn't get an answer.

Well done too, Susie!
I would guess two of your entries are through, probably in two different categories? Did you enter one piece per category or more?
I really wonder how many people are through.
Let's go to round 4 and meet up at the dinner reception in our shiny outfits, shall we Susie?

I keep trying to post answers here and they're not getting posted. Argh.

Only just seen this thread - has the deadline past? Can't see it on the website but the award ceremony is on the 26th June so must be soon if they are going to get the judging done in time.

The deadline was a few months ago. This is round 3 of judging for this year. Maybe they'll run the competition again next year?

Nancy, sorry - hadn't scrolled down and didn't realise ALL my attempts were there!!
Ignore my PM.
Wouldn't it be lovely if we did get through to the final- I've never been to the O2.
Do you know any other people who've got through? We're beginning to wonder a bit - reading the Facebook page, it looks as if everyone who entered has got through, which is slightly odd... I know two other people who entered and all three of us are through.
Susiex

Absolutely everyone I know who entered, including complete novices, is now through to Round 3 of the judging too. Odd indeed...

Hm, I kind of suspected as much...

I think they might be:

1) trying to keep people interested as some sort of publicity stunt. They put lots of people through so that they keep checking their website etc. More traffic = more influence etc.

2) struggling with the 21.000 entries and actually putting everyone who can string a sentence together through?
