In that case looks like I know what I'm doing the next two days. Listening to all those chapters all over again and taking notes to help pick the best part and jot down notes for exerts! Thanks I wasn't quite sure based on reading their requirements.Quote:

- The Viking Funeral on the Roof Top of the Tower
- The "interview process" of MPK at the Colony through Pete's drive by (to show the stark contrast in mood)
- The Escape from the Colony (from Gatekeeper/Shovelface's planning all the way to Kelly's narration back to the Tower)
- and I would also use Lizzy's near rape scene all the way through Lizzy getting knocked out.
I didn't run the times of this, but if time allows, I would also include getting the radio call about the Wave heading to outpost one then continue it all the way through the interview process etc etc.
I think these scenes would do We're Alive Justice especially if you give enough of a lead. I don't think you need to be as worried about the emotional attachment to the characters. Most awards things need to see range, and quality and I think these scenes certainly do that.
19-1 Shovel scene Michael "You dont know when to shutup do ya ?" clang clang
Is it possible for us to hear the 2010 entry for a point of reference? And do you have the winners entry for comparison? It'd be useful to get and idea of what last years judges were looking for.

I like this because:
- It hits on many different characters and their relationships.
- Has dramatic tension (although which episode doesn't? :P).
- Has real depth of field in terms of the audio.
- Gives a feel for what the characters have to deal with.
- And of course, the writing is excellent
A zombie story needs zombie action, like Ra1th said the MRE scene will work really well.
I'm on my 5th (or 6th) run through of the podcast, I lost count, but I find that scenes between Michael and Kelly always stand out in my mind. They have good chemistry. My vote for a little snip it comes from 14-3, the scene in which Michael goes upstairs for a smoke and ends up having a chat with Kelly.
