Closing date for entries is 9am on Friday 1st February 2013. All entries which are post-marked 28th February or before will be considered.

That's quite a large gap, is anyone able to confirm that this is correct?

Good question. This is a very good contest. Thinking along the lines of writing a comedy drama for my entry, but too used to comedy dramas being 45 mins + not 30 minutes

Sounds like it should be Friday 1st March but perhaps Claire can confirm.

I've been wanting to get into script writing for a while so hopefully this will give me the kick in the backside I need to try and write something longer than simple sketch!

Hi All,

Sound confusing yes

Please can someone tell me (include a link) to where the suspect date is as I need to make sure the Trans Comedy Website and the Writers Room match.

Then I will report here the official line.

A site so unpopular it has translated from the figurative to the literal.

It looks like a mistake in point 6 of the T&Cs on the Writersroom site.

Yup. http://www.bbc.co.uk/writersroom/about/transcomedy-award-terms-and-conditions

I have checked all copy on this and let the writers room know.

Should have clarity in the morning.
