Steve, if you see this maybe you can come back to us on that?<br /><br />It looks okay to me. The £6000 is the 'prize' to develop the project further. Not a bad fee at all. I guess it depends on what else is in the Writers Agreement which from my quick look I couldn't see any more info about. If it's 6K and that's it, that could be problematic if the project becomes succesful. However, I'm going to assume (and anyone entering probably shouldn't assume!) that this won't be the case and the Writers Agreement will specify further payments based on what happens with the project.Yehudah Jez Freedmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01620570721319183069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8690524959564942156.post-44502842816972997512011-10-10T14:53:33.658+01:002011-10-10T14:53:33.658+01:00I'm puzzled.

Whatever the opportunity, I don't think any bloggers neccessarily endorse all or even some of the schemes that they are notified about and pass on.<br /><br />And certainly, if your reading is correct, that sounds completely ridiculous. So if anyone is thinking of entering this please take note of Steve comments and seek clarification from the competition organisers.Yehudah Jez Freedmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01620570721319183069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8690524959564942156.post-46446973088615817682011-10-02T17:16:03.305+01:002011-10-02T17:16:03.305+01:00I hate to be a nay-sayer but I personally wouldn&#...I hate to be a nay-sayer but I personally wouldn't recommend this one.<br /><br />According to my reading of the rules: If you win you get the £6000 to develop the world (i.e. do more work) and then Portal keep all the rights.<br /><br />So if they think they can make money out of it you'll win - but you won't be making the money, not even a tiny percentage.<br /><br />And today's verification word is "tonist" - a devotee of Antony.Adaddinsanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10577587188266580561noreply@blogger.com
