I think its sometime around December when they send letters out?

I read December 18th somewhere, not sure how true that is though! They only finished marking the works recently though (I think the Saturday before last or something similar) so I don't expect the nominations to come out for a while.

Lol poutine. Also, you will know if you haven't made the Showcase by the 17th of December, when HSC marks are released. Only 50s make the Showcase. (Externally; I'm pretty sure internals don't matter).

lol Iwillget9995. I know people who got 47 and got into showcase. If your composition/major work is great and your reflection statement is shit then sorry, no you will not get in showcase. lol Iwillget9995. l0l.

 

[poutine]

Nah soz they take it as an overall impression of your major work. If they put only 50s in there, they would have issues with plagiarism

Heaps of the works in Showcase don't get 50! I know people who got as low as 47 ('low' haha) and ended up in the showcase. It's not a demonstration of the very best in the state, it's a demonstration of the range of works people produced. They look for unusual or highly original works more so than the 'best'.

That's what I heard too; sometimes they have a theme as well, preventing many more brilliant works from being selected.

 

[britaker]

Who's hoping to make it this year/what are your works about?

I kind of hoped until I looked at the stuff that's been previously selected. They probably wouldn't like my very linear short story at all. xD

I feel you. I'd hoped mine might make it for a brief, brief moment of sheer insanity.

Yeah mine was really weird, so I'm hoping I'll make it based on that alone? hahaha, but in all seriousness it would be really lovely, but it won't happen to me.

 

[kaelsjike]

I will make it.

no you won't you troll

 

[britaker]

Well obviously I won't make it in 100%, but I think I have a 70-80% chance.

What's you MW about?

Be interested to see how all the works turn out for the publication this year though
