MySpace StoryTeller Challenge Names Top 12

After several delays, the MySpace StoryTeller Challenge contest has finally announced their top 12 videos: http://www.myspace.com/storytellerchallenge.

This contest, which included an entry submitted by Jeromy Barber's character, student and Maddison Atkins documentary maker Clara Stokes, ran into problems with voting and with some participants turning off voting by viewers, so the organizers decided to turn the evaluation entirely over to a panel of judges. Most participants felt this was a fair decision, and had the benefit of greater visibility of each entry to industry experts.

Follow the link above to see the winners, announced December 19. The top 6 will be announced January 7 and travel to L.A. for the final round, with the final two winners of $25,000 cash and Fox production contracts to be awarded by January 25th.
