| Oh my goodness -- I was borderline on fifty-one pages at ten point at Times New Roman. My outline was the same, but I didn't know what they wanted for the outline exactly -- how specific??
Oh DJ what are you doing entering contests? Go out there and get that baby published!
There's another contest I've heard of - Tweener Time??? I think it's called??? something like that -- anyway you get to send in ninety pages instead of fifty, and if you win you get a full ride to some college that sponsors it. |

| yea, amelia I had the same probably too. My outline was cut down so much that I couldn't discuss key points for each of my 24 chapters. 2 pages is ridiculous.
and yea, I would like to get published but I have no idea how or where to get that done. I'm graduating high school next week so I'm going to be writing full time over the summer. | |

| just a question-- do you HAVE to enter through your school, or can you just enter this alone, without a teacher..etc.? | |

| The entry form requires a student, parent, and teacher signature to be accepted. If you're home schooled, your parent's signature will also work for teacher. Otherwise, yes, you basically have to enter through a school. | |

| My school isn't directly involved, though. I took the initiative to enter on my own, and just got my English teacher to sign the form =) | |

| Yeah, the school here doesn't really have much involvement either. It's surprising that more schools don't actively support the contest, since the school with the most national award winners gets some kind of prize, according to Scholastic's website. | |

| Quick question... obviously I didn't get Nat'l recognition, but on my Regional winner FAQ sheet thingy, it said that more info and a survey would be emailed to me. Did any of you guys ever get this? ...because, I definitely didn't =P | |

| Some people on the board said they got a survey for nationals earlier. I don't know anything about a regionals survey, since I entered for novel, but you might try e-mailing Scholastic and asking them about it. Don't count on them writing back, though. | |

| Just out of curiosity, does anyone know when scholastic posts the names of all the national winners online?
I thought it was sometime in June...? | |
