I'd venture a guess that yes, more BL scripts are from later in the year. But that's because those scripts are fresher on the minds of voters who've read hundreds of scripts over the course of a year.

Then again, I have no hard evidence to back this up. So take it with a grain of salt.

The converse is sometimes true too. You always get a couple high up that didn't necessarily make a splash as specs, because they were quietly set up but then over a period of months passed from person to person until their presence was just ubiquitous. So I'd say it tends to be a mixed bag.

I also know someone who was baffled to be on the list last year because his script was three years old. And wasn't actively submitted anywhere. But just enough voters saw it so...

So a script that comes out in Oct, Nov or maybe even Dec has a chance to place on the list?
