I sent my submission off today - July 1st - with all the required material.

My computer ended up crashing on me both before and after 4pm so I finally gave up using it in but couldn't get to another.

The time I did finally sent it was just before 11pm.

So naturally all I want to know now is: Will my submission be read?

If not, well so be it! At least I know I tried! Smile

If you could answer that one, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks

Simon6,
I sympathise, the computer bit is horrible.

I did notice that there was a member of the production team on-line a 4pm. How strict they are with the deadline, we'll only know when you find out your on the short list or sadly not!

PS. Production Team. can you sneak him in?

Can we start an online petition?

If you think the PT should make an eeensy-weensy concession for Simon, please simply post YES on this thread.

Here's mine;

YES

Thanks Adman

Actually I wouldn't ask them to make a special rule just for me.

If there were a few others who did get their submissions in on the very last day, but after the 4pm deadline, my heart goes out to them as well.

It really depends on the team. The competition has been running for weeks. If all the last submissions were faithfully collected at 4pm yesterday, that's probably the end of it.

On the other hand, if they've allowed a buffer period for last minute delays, then it will problably be read.

Oh well... Smile

Hello everyone on the forum. I have been reading all your posts for weeks, having a great laugh but feeling slightly voyeuristic by not joining in. Anyway, now, of course I'm seriously worried. I don't know if my entry (tit was my 2nd submission) was in by 4pm exactly (it was thereabout...) Is there any way of finding out whether my entry was acceped or not? I sent my first idea in about a week ago, but never received confimation of that either.

Hi Rita

Welcome to the asylum!

I reckon, if you sent by e- and didn't Request Read Receipt, you just have to assume the internet is not, actually, an unreliable place! And I'm absolutely sure they allowed for a 'buffer zone' after the 4pm.

Good Luck!

Yes, accept Simon's submission. Yes, even consider him for sortlisting. Don't let him win - that's for me!

To educated rita,

Did i read you correctly, 'TIT was my 2nd submission' I don't know if you will win but i am on the front row if you do!

As to letting Simon6 in, can i read it first?

I would immagine they will look at any late submissions, (within reason) they are after all panning for that nugget of Gold amongst the gravel. Any good prospector knows it's hard to stop panning, that big nugget could just be in the next pan!

Isn't that trying to influence the judges??

I can't believe I said Tit was my 2nd submission. Well - I was a forum virgin,what do they say about first times and all that? But now I think about it, what a great name for a play! I can just see it on Shaftesbury Avenue lit up in neon...what a pity I'm passed the deadline.

I think Rita has won it, after all her play is clearly the breast of the bunch.

I think "Tit" would make a great play. I guess it would have to be a melon-drama <insert groans here>

Well, I received a read receipt for my submission today!

That looks promising.

On the other hand it might just mean acknowledement of reciept, but it still won't get read because I sent it after the deadline.

Don't what you reckon...

Anyway its out of my hands now...

Read-receipt is not automated; someone has to physically do it.

I reckon they wouldn't have sent an RR if they hadn't have allowed it.

See you in the final!
