Not up to me but can I suggest no minimum page count? My heart always sinks when I haven’t got time and hey - if you can write a story in 1-page it’s a good skill to practice!
NOT!!!! Terrible idea.
You can't have a bunch of 1 page last minute entries along side 12 pagers that took time to conceive and write.

Personally, I think it would be hard as Hell to build suspense in a one-page script, but I know there are better writers here than me... so I'm okay with someone trying.

1-page scripts used to be my favorite to write. If you wanted to, you could get a hell of a lot of story out in that one page.
I'd agree with Jeff - If there was no minimum page count then you would have to have a low maximum to keep the entries from being too disparate - 1-2 pagers could be a OWC all on its own.
Although saying that, with the sheer volume of entries in the last one, I wish some of them were 1 pagers

Just 'cos you haven't got the skills to condense a story - doesn't mean they should be banned. Better chance of production with a good micro-script. And my only previous entry to this challenge won. It was 2 pages. And beat many other longer scripts - including yours
