Hey, everyone - we have a news flash for you about Be Scene! Some people who'd like to enter are worried they'll be unable to get a video done and sent to us by the March 16 deadline, so... If you'd like to be in the contest, but can't do a video, just send an email letting us know why you should be in it! Email us at contact@ourchart.com.

Here's your chance to become your favorite L Word character -- and to do it in front of Kate Moennig, Leisha Hailey, and 1200 screaming fans! At this year's Club Skirts Dinah Shore Weekend, OurChart will be hosting "Be Scene," an American Idol-style competition where pre-selected teams will act out scenes from The L Word. Kate and Leisha will be on a panel of judges, and prizes will be awarded for the best two teams, as well as the best actress. All competitors will also receive a special OurChart-themed gift.

To have a shot at competing at the Dinah Shore event, choose one of five scenes from The L Word, videotape yourself and your friends acting it out, and send the clip to us at OurChart. (See below for details on mailing address and what video / DVD format to use). OR, you can send an email at contact@ourchart.com letting us know why you should be in it! We'll invite the best teams to compete at the March 31 Be Scene event at the Dinah Shore Weekend in Palm Springs, California.

Each competitor team will be asked to prepare two scenes. At the event, each team will act out one scene, and the judges will score the performances. The two teams with the highest scores will be invited to perform their second scene, and the judges will then choose the winner. First prize is a visit to the set of The L Word, for up to six people (subject to Showtime's rules governing set visits and contingent upon the L Word being picked up for Season 5; travel and accommodations not included ). Second prize is a VIP package for each team member to the 2008 Dinah Shore weekend, compliments of Club Skirts. And the Best Actress will receive a private meet and greet with Kate and Leisha after the event.

The Be Scene competition will be held at the Doral Hotel, at 67-697 Vista Chino Way in Palm Springs, between 7-9 p.m. on Saturday, March 31. Contestants must be U.S. residents 21 or over and will be responsible for their own transportation to and accommodation at the Dinah Shore event.
