Why doesn’t the Nicholl competition include log lines for quarter/semi/finalist script contact lists distributed to agencies, management and production companies, executives and producers?
The Nicholl competition rules state that the Academy “will not participate in [an entry script’s] marketing,” and we feel that offering log lines crosses that line. Furthermore, while we understand that industry representatives might find the log lines convenient, we also think that they should contact the writers for such information. This gives the writers the opportunity to “sell” themselves and their script, as well as to ask questions. With such contact, the writers can track the distribution of their work within the industry.
