To Update the Small Press Idol 2008 contest: All lights are green, the contest is a go. We decided last minute, after the initial announcement, to re-code the website. So there might have been some confusion there, but the site is 100% stable and upgraded now. Lots of new features we won't even go into here. This post is just to remind people that there's exactly ONE WEEK LEFT before the contest starts. The day after the Superbowl, we will begin posting Round 1 entries as they get turned in. The $20 entry fee and the website changes did slow down the sign-ups a bit, but we're estimating at LEAST a $100 grand prize, along with the publishing deal. We will continue to take new projects for the round through March 16th, so there's no telling how big the grand prize cash payout may become. Every team/individual project that joins, it goes up $10. This promises to be the most exciting year of Idol yet, so if you haven't checked it all out yet, the guidelines are up at: http://www.dimestoreproductions.com/Content_1/main.html and if you are interested in who's joined, or stated that they plan to, we have a forum thread for you to keep an eye on that at:

If you have any questions about this, just let me know! I'll be around to keep people informed of the progress, etc.
