How long does it normally take for OWA submissions to be chosen/rejected after the closing date? I have limited funds and I can’t afford the Stage32 subscription fee indefinitely. I’m afraid to stop because my submission will be dropped but I might need a break from the subscription soon (I’d be back as soon as I can spare the cash again btw). I will stick around as long as I can but it would be good to know a rough lead time if possible.

I'm not sure, Lee Griffin, but you can contact Molly Peck (contests@stage32.com). https://www.stage32.com/profile/873315/about

Lee Griffin Is the submission you sent, was it verified by Molly as not all of them are sent - as they go through Jason Mirch first to make sure they are professional then they are sent, so verify with Molly Peck that yours was sent? Best of Luck

Sorry to read about your financial situation. Do OWA submissions pay money, and do you know how many writers have been hired?

Lee, I submitted to an OWA on February 3rd and got the pass on June the 3rd. I did get an update somewhere between it had been sent on to the company and they were reviewing submissions. I will say this, and please don't take my word on it cause it may have been a fluke, but I was no longer a member of the Writer's Room when I got my pass on the project. Maybe you can check in with someone at Stage 32 to clarify the rules on that. I also expected my project to have been dropped since my membership lapsed.
You're welcome, Lee Griffin.
Yes, the OWA's pay, Dan MaxXx.

Thanks Marcus, maybe it’s only subject to you paying the subscription until it’s been passed on the the production company. I will ask Molly that too

Hi Jason, I did reach out by email… I know you probably get a ton of emails but I wonder… it might have landed in your junk folder… anyway, I thought I’d drop you a line here just in case. Many thanks, Lee
