In a bit of a rush here, so we're going to dispense with the question and answer format. Some announcements:

To repeat: THE DEADLINE HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO FEB. 28. PLEASE INFORM FRIENDS OF YOURS WHO YOU KNOW ARE INTERESTED IN JOINING. BETTER YET, INVITE THEM TO GET ON THIS MAILING LIST TOO.

- Submissions may be delivered in brown paper envelopes, but should still be sealed.

- Stories need not be set in the Philippines or involve Filipino characters.

- Students need not submit a resume.

- We would prefer if, for the hard copies, you don't print pages back to back. This goes especially for the comics submissions, as some art bleeds or can be seen through to the other side. But if you've already sent in your submission, it's no biggie.

- Enough people have asked if they can submit a short story that is part of a longer work. This is a tricky one. It really is up to you. We are not disallowing it, but it is a risk you take, as with other things. In the best instance, the work, when read, should not be obviously part of something larger. You don't want the judges feeling like they've wasted their time reading something incomplete, right? So try looking at it through a new reader's eyes.

- You may use the same plot/story for both categories (comics and prose), if you wish (and you feel it's that good).





For reference, here are the previous questions:

FAQ # 2: If I can't find an artist to collaborate with, can I submit
the comics script?

THIS ACTUALLY CAME IN ABOUT 3 OR 4 TIMES; WE DON'T KNOW HOW. NO, YOU
CANNOT SUBMIT A COMICS SCRIPT. WE DIDN'T ASK FOR A COMICS SCRIPT. WE
WANT COMICS. YOU WOULDN'T SUBMIT A SCRIPT TO A SHORT FILM CONTEST OR A
TREATMENT TO A MUSIC VIDEO CONTEST OR A STORYBOARD TO AN AD CONTEST,
WOULD YOU?

And for your reference (and for the new members), here is FAQ # 1:

FAQ # 1: When you say black and white, do you mean just black and
white line art or is greyscale allowed?

GREYSCALE IS ALLOWED.
