If I were Big Finish, I think I would contact the winner slightly in advance to make sure we're good to go by airtime rather than subject everyone to another day or two of suspense. No one would have an F5 key left by Monday. :-)

Regards mark687 This is why we're wondering why Big Finish have not made the usual July 31st tweet, stating that the winner has been contacted?

Sorry I should clarify they never Tweet that've contacted the Winner on Deadline Day its usually 2 -3 weeks later. The winners full details are usually then held back till October/November when the story's been Recorded Regards mark687

I’m so confused🤔

From the Terms and Conditions
8. The winner will be informed by the end of July, and will be officially contracted to deliver a 5,000 word Short Trips story. As with all Big Finish writers, they will be expected to agree and meet all conditions, especially with respect to meeting deadlines and accepting input from producers. For guidance purposes, it is expected a first-draft would be due early in the Autumn of 2021.
Now BF Don't usually Publicly Tweet that they've made contact with the winner till about 2-3 weeks afterword.
Regards

Regards mark687 But that doesn’t add up the way the tweet was worded previously on July 31 made it seem as though the winner is contacted on that day, otherwise why would they say to check your email to see if you won🤔

Regards mark687 You say this, but the last two years, Big Finish have tweeted something about the Paul Spragg Opportunity in the month of July, indicating that judging is finished or near completion. The entire month of July, this year... Nothing. I'm surprised they've not given this as much Social Media coverage as they have in previous years.

I can't say with any certainty, but I get the general impression that they've just been swamped. That seems to have been a universal problem with people in general over the last little while. I don't know anyone who hasn't been dealing with a near overwhelming amount of duties, responsibilities and expectations. Particularly over the last month. I've a strong suspicion that's been the lull of 2020 trying to catch up with us. I think with the Paul Spragg, they've been deliberately choosing not to push any announcements in a rush due to the subject matter.

Do you think they may have delayed contacting the winner as well?

Do you think they may have delayed contacting the winner as well? Hard to say, it's possible. I imagine they're working on the actual administrative element first and the marketing second. It'll get to us a bit later, but we'll probably know eventually.

Finally, a moment where I can post a SpongeBob Time Card here, and it's actually relevant.

I do find it a bit unfair to leave everyone on tender hooks. Cause we’ll only know if we haven’t won... by just guessing. I mean it’s my first go so idm. But yeh, was really anticipating finding out who won yesterday whilst this method has kinda left me feeling empty :/

Anything could've happened. They could have been overran with entries, and have not finished judging? They could have issues contacting the winner, like an email bouncing? It is all speculation, though. We all have no idea, right now. I probably won't be spamming my email's refresh button so often today, but I'll still probably end up checking, until we know for certain.

I actually emailed them to see if they are still doing their Twitter message.
