Please send your contest picks in ASAP so that we can choose a winner.

I'm going on vacation on Friday for 12 days so I'd really like to be able to announce the winners before I leave.

The deadline was October 1st - and I still am missing 15 people's picks.

In order to choose a winner each filmmaker who participated in the contest must do the following:

1. Each filmmaker must write a thoughtful review for every film in the contest except their own through the site's review system. The filmmakers must use their real name in the name category although you do not need to show your e-mail address.

2. Once this is done, each filmmaker who submitted a film to the contest will e-mail me a list of their top 3 films. (obviously not including their own)

Their first pick is worth 30 points, second is worth 20 points, and third is worth 10 points. The film with the most points wins the contest.

3. In the same e-mail I also need their picks for:

- Best Acting
- Best Cinematography
- Best Directing
- Best Editing
- Best Score
- Best Screenplay
- Best Interpretation of the Theme

These selections will have nothing to do with the grand prize, but each film that wins a category will get a certificate.

If I don't get them by the end of today - we're not going to find out who won until I got back on the 18th of October.

So - if you know people who participated in the contest - pester them until they send me their contest picks - because e-mail and forum postings don't seem to be working for all of them.

Andrew Jewison

If I don't receive their picks soon I may need to disqualify them from the contest.

jsut out of curiosity, not impatience, what is the status on the contest?

I'm still waiting on Eric Kohler and Andrews Jewison.

I think I may have to call them today - since e-mail doesn't seem to be working.
