What is a surprize?
A surprise prize.
When are winners announced?
May 2010.
What if I submit multiple episodes (and you publish them)? Does this increase my chances of winning?
Yes. It is the individual episode, of plot and of performance, that wins. So if we publish ten of your plot-episodes or performances, you are ten times more likely to win.
Aha! So does this mean I could win more than one prize, maybe even all of them, by submitting both plot episodes and performance episodes, multiple times (provided you publish them)?
No. A participant may win only ONE prize. However, you are welcome to submit multiple times, both to performance and plot. You can certainly be published multiple times and in various categories.
How will the prizes be dispensed?
In cash: in bills and/or in coins.
Are you serious?
Yes.
What if I win $1000? Will you give me this sum in 100000 pennies?
That's one possibility. Others include: 4000 quarters; 10000 dimes; 20000 nickels; 1000 one-dollar bills; 100 ten-dollar bills; 50 twenty-dollar bills; 20 fifty-dollar bills; 10 hundred-dollar bills; 50000 pennies + 2500 dimes etc. + 5000 nickels; 999 one-dollar bills + 50 pennies + 6 nickels +2 dimes; etc.
