I was seriously considering doing this until I got to this point in the rules

No, you may not make derivative works of my idea.
Go get your own goddamn ideas!

"Entrant Content" referring to the video you upload. So, if they decide to put a snippet of your short film/pitch video spliced into their TV commercials/web videos, etc... they have to have this disclaimer. Because any edited version of your project, which is not the entire work, is considered, "derivative."
 
Hmm.. if they can only use what I have in my entry and not what I use in the actual film I create.. then perhaps I can get past this.

I'll just omit the names of my characters, etc in the entry.
 
I don't see anything about it needing to be a feature film in the rules? Can I assume that pitching the concept straight without noting it's length completely complies with the rules, then in the case of winning producing a short film with the money is acceptable?

Also, I see nothing in the rules about failing to complete the film project?

Yeah, I'm imagining you can enter a short. I entered mine.

For $20,000 I'm imagining this contest is more geared towards a short.
