A revised and more specific set of guidelines is being developed for the 2007 Flash Comp to incorporate the wide ranging types of entries that we received this year (approximately 70 entries in total). This will allow entrants to develop their entry according to a specific genre and will also be broken into year levels.

Thanks to everyone who submitted entries. We look forward to hearing from many of you (and of course, new and upcoming entrants) in 2007. The guidelines will be available for the 2007 soon.
