Winning!

Woo-hoo! We've now more or less broken even in contest and fellowship entry fees because after several delays and then a few weeks of utter silence (I understand, these things take time), Creative Screenwriting just announced the winners of their AAA Contest and our spec of The Good Wife is one of them!

Charlie Sheen never had it so good. Except, you know, when he did.

Here is the list of winners. Congratulations to everyone!

However, judges and contest management agreed that this script, which finished second in the feature judging overall, merits special recognition. Because it did not fit one of the genre categories in which cash prizes are offered, we created this additional category to recognize this script.
