And now that all the introductions are done, to the interesting part. Last year, we watched all the entries and on NR we selected which top 5 entries we liked and – get this – all three of those entries placed. Dara Ju came in first, The Promise came in second and To Serve With came in third.
This year we are trying to do it again, below we’ve selected our top five entries from the pool. Here’s hoping that three of the five place this year as well. We will check back on Monday, January 27th to see if they did.

I really liked the story behind Crimson the most. It seemed like the one with the most fabric to it. Even though it’s all in one scene, it worked.[/tab]

I saw Big Man first and it might seem simple but my heart skipped too many times to not list it.[/tab]

[tab title=”The Strangers”]
Not sure if this is an issue of personal taste but I really liked The Strangers. I also really liked FIVE and nearly substituted one for the other[/tab][/tabgroup]
