Super Summer Contest!

Last call for stories!
You've got until some point tomorrow (UK time) when I put everything I've received online. I've got a doctor's appointment during the day which may play into the hands of those who want to submit.
I've had a bunch of submissions this evening, you Americans love doing things at the 11th Hour, don't you?
Anyhow if there's anyone else or anyone fancies writing another then just send 'em in. Otherwise a thread for critiquing and voting will go live tomorrow!
Thanks to everyone who's submitted so far. I've resisted the temptation to read any of them so I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone came up with. There seems to be a wide variety in terms of structure at least!

I work best under pressure, what can I say? I've got 3 hours, that's plenty of time!
Completely spaced the deadline,
3 hours you say? Hmmm.

By the way, do any of those prizes come on tape? I don't read good.
Three more low budget shorts outlined coming your way.
Anyone with real stones can pull one off at the last gasping second.
Doesn't the rest of the world kinda (politely) mock us Yanks for our manic, crack rat work style? (Can't really call it an "ethic")

Can we still submit a concept?
I had something, then didn't, then did, then didn't! Looking forward to seeing all the ideas, concepts, stories, and outlines.
Could I write a screenplay short off of it?
I've been turned in about eight or nine ten sentence stories that
- begin with a situation,
- introduce a conflict,
- suggest a few problems to solve before
- things go bad,
- it gets better,
- it gets worse,
- solve the big problem, then
- define the outcome.
Phase 2 screenwriters are free to change names, tweak problems and solutions, completely fabricate all dialog based upon the tone (humor, dark humor, drama, horror, farce) they want to approach this with.
I wouldn't care for something as conceptually nebulous as "Humor - Dude eats chili, wakes up with squirts, can't answer the phone".
I'd appreciate a little more pre-development than that.
No of course not, nothingas minimal as that. What is the range of script and screen time we're looking at?
There really wasn't any, just "short".
There's production costs and time associated with these, so... shorter = better.
IMHO, I think the sweet spot is two to four minutes and over ten is really pushing it.
OMG.
Tri-fold it.
Insert into envelope
Include $20 cash (no coins please) for S&H
email to the address on the OP.
Are you "punking" us?
You are, aren't you.
You silly wanker, you!

Bravo, Chris!
Yeah, man. Just barely missed that asteroid by... hours.
Sh!t.
In cosmological terms that was a near death experience!
My palms are all cold and sweaty.
No, wait...
That's just condensation off my glass of coke and ice.
Never mind.
Bravo on you, too, Jake.
