So, after just over a month, the competition closed on Friday.
Thanks to everyone who entered. I've said this a lot but I've been genuinely taken aback at how good all of the entries were.
Our judging panel are now taking time out from their busy schedules to put decide upon the competition winners.
Hopefully we'll be able to announce in a day or two!

The Scripts!
And so, with only a couple of days left, I'm finally able to turn my attention to the scripts. The quality is absolutely phenomenal.
Charlene Bastians' The Price Of Ten Pounds is our most recent submission; it's an absolutely brilliant journey of a ten pound note that finds itself changing hands with a cast of inter-related characters. There's a great twist at the end. I really loved it. Charlene also uploaded a script about issues associated with self-harm called Mirror Image, which was just as good.
Dulani Wilson has submitted a script entitled Ally's Way. It's really stark and quite violent but I found it totally engrossing. Just as engrossing was Thomas Rees' Capitol. Really brilliant stuff.
Oliver Wurr's Deal Or No Deal - a really brief scene centring on the relationship issues between its two characters Navid and Alice - is ace as well.
Joe Carver's Forlorn Hopes is extremely sophisticated, I recommend reading it for yourself to see how good it is. Toby Cohen's Jump, about two competitive brothers and their father, is just as terrific.
At this point I'm running out of superlatives to use. I enjoyed these scripts so much.
Timothy Unzola's The Pill is an outstanding story about youth gang crime and how a young man is offered early release if he takes a behaviour altering drug. Reminded me a bit of A Clockwork Orange, which is certainly no bad thing.
Absent by Harry Griffiths tells the story of Alan and pretty much perfectly sums up what this campaign is about. Well done, Harry.
Three Perfect Candidates by Thomas Grigg is a really neat story about sexual inequality at work. See You Next Tuesday by Zahra Barri is about… well, think about what See You Next Tuesday might be a euphemism for….
Zahra also uploaded Delia: The Deluded a really witty story about a girl who applies for reality TV shows. Leaving Normal is about a girl called Holly's struggle with depression. It really moved me. Louise Cooke.
Chris Barnes' Skint cracked me up although I have no idea what it's actually about.
I think that's all of them. Really, I'm completely blown away by the quality.
If you'd like to upload a script (or a film or some music), you've only got until Friday!

Just two days to go before we stop accepting submissions for the London stage of Nobody's Perfect.
If you've got films, music or scripts you've been meaning to upload, you'd better do it soon!
