What Else You Need to Know
NSI playWRITE is a great chance to get your break into the industry... and, in some cases, it might be your only chance to start fast as a working creative. But
NSI playWRITE is a competitive program. That means that submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance, much less success.
Only as many as ten applicants will be accepted into the program... and that is assuming that there are ten applicants who can meet the high standards of the
NSI playWRITE jury. The final number of selected applicants might be fewer.
So, in addition to putting your best foot forward, make sure you ask questions on any point that is confusing to you. The best place to start might be in the NSI playWRITE forum on this site. And don’t worry about people thinking your question is stupid: chances are lots of other people are wondering about the same thing.
