How cool is that.
Well done, congratulations.
Nice to know how well this forum works.

Yeah Timmy, they were a bit crap with all that. I only found out myself by checking the website. They still have undecided spaces on the Wildcard shows though, so you may get in there yet!
I guess I was unlucky then. Could well have been that my piece wasn't picked up until quite a late stage but I didn't know anything until the list was posted on the website and by that point you were supposed to know. As I say though, might well be that I didn't have a director attached until the last minute which is why I didn't hear anything from them until after the list was posted.
Congrats to you also - are you making it over there? Has your piece already been performed or is it still to come - mine's playing this week! Eep!
Ooh, note to anyone in the UK who might be considering whether or not to pay the entry fee and submit next year - as a result of the Sydney festival I also was shortlisted for a similar event running at the Brighton and Edinburgh festivals this year - obviously much more conveniently closer to home. Don't know if it'll make the final cut, mind. Wish me luck!
I have a play selected for the last week. Based in the UK, I'm not going to get to see the piece but my director's sending me pics of the production and from rehearsal.
