FINAL CALL FOR WHO WANTS TO CREATE A SUPER-HEROINE SHADOWLINE CONTEST
From Jim Valentino
With less than two weeks left to go (final warning, there’s still time to send yours in!), we’ve received hundreds of submissions. Of those, some were marked as potential semi-finalists, some were starred as runners-up, the rest were deleted and all were responded to with a confirmation of receipt.
There were tons of Pandora’s, Greek (and other pantheon) Gods, celebrity heroes, sibling heroes, teams, government conspiracies and agencies, aliens, dysfunctional families, lesbians (down boys), pregnant, widowed, unwed mom heroines and second-generation heroes. We saw a lot of duplicate names, origins, powers, etc.including many names of pre-existing characters. More than even we anticipated. So if anyone sees a winning entry that looks similar to yours, you can chalk it up to syncronicity. Similarities abounded.
The synopses of the potential semi-finalists (no more than 50) will all be sent to Jim blind–that is, without the name of the creator attached–and from those he’ll select ten. Only the names of the ten (10) semi-finalists will be listed at Newsarama on February 4, not the names of their super-heroine. Semi-finalists will be warned that if they reveal the name of their entry to the public, they will be immediately disqualified.
The ten semi-finalists will then be asked to send in a script for the FIRST five pages of their story. From these scripts, Shadowline will choose five finalists. Decisions made by Shadowline are final, and not debatable.
The five finalists will each have their original synopsis posted at Kristen Simon’s forum on the "Who Wants to Create a Super-Heroine" message board ( www.kris-korner.com/forum) on March 10 where they can be reviewed by anyone interested in voting. A link will also be provided in the next announcement from Newsarama. You will need to register to vote. One vote per IP address will be allowed (to discourage ballot box stuffing). All synopses will be posted sans creator names and again, any finalist that reveals their
identity will be immediately disqualified. Polls will close on April 4 at noon, Central Standard Time.The winning entry will be announced at Newsarama on April 28, along with Franchesco’s initial concept art. Thereafter we will be posting progress reports and pages on a regular basis at the message board.

This contest is fully run and administered by Shadowline. Newsarama in no way influences the outcome or plays any role in the decision process.
