During the summer of 2012 Adventures in Odyssey kicked off its 25th anniversary celebration. As part of this celebration, the Odyssey team offered a special opportunity: the chance to have your script become an Odyssey episode. The College Writer's Scholarship Contest was launched at that time. Ever since the first-place winner was announced to be Angela Phillips with her script entitled "A Jay in the Life", we have been waiting for that episode to be released. Another winner was Katie Wynn with her script "Big Trouble Under the Big Top" which was included on Album 57: A Call to Something More. But what about Phillips' script? We now have confirmation from Focus on the Family that the "A Jay in the Life" script will not be produced into an AIO episode. They said that although they "enjoyed the originality employed in this creative effort, its plot took several characters in directions that conflicted with our already established storylines." We at the AIO Update speculate that this script would have drastically altered the character of Jay Smouse. Will the College Writer's Scholarship Contest return? It’s possible the team may at some point launch a similar competition for writers, but have no plans to do so in the immediate future. Should the contest return? Leave your comments below. The official Adventures in Odyssey website, Whitsend.org, is soon going to launch an Easter Egg Hunt contest.

All you have to do is search for the hidden Adventures in Odyssey Easter Egg at whitsend.org. You'll find the hidden Easter egg somewhere on the website beginning March 25, and you can enter the drawing daily from April 1 to April 20. To enter, you'll need to include the word found on the egg and a sentence of how Jesus has changed your life. This contest is only open to US residents. You can find out all the details here.
