After working through 120 scripts and 3 rounds of judging, the RESULTS of the 2010 Harvardwood Writers' Competition are finally in!
First, a hefty
congratulations to all FINALISTS – selecting winners and runners-up was
difficult in every category. We were aware we had a lot of talented
writers in the Harvardwood community, but were blown away by your
submissions, and are immensely proud of our winning scripts.
Also, a huge
thank-you to everybody who helped out as JUDGES in this competition.
You’ll remain anonymous as promised, but we’re grateful that you leant
us your time and expertise.
