I would like to persue doing ththe festival in Y8 and pushing back the opening of Part 1 personally.
I think a budgetary cap of 40M was fairly agreed upon.
As far as judging I don't think people who submit should be out of the running for judging (particularly if most of us participate) but i do agree with cookie that should refrain from scoring their own material. If anyone in particular is interested in judging feel free to express.
Not a fan of genre restrictions but as always encourage creative new exciting work
