If you missed the announcement, there's an adventure design contest underway, and the Midgard campaign setting is available as a setting for pitches!
If you'd like to enter, or you have questions, here's the details.

Wolfgang, are you going to send updates of #s as pitches arrive given the 100 pitch max? |

Yes, but not for every single pitch that shows up. At the moment, six entries have arrived. It's very, very early yet.
We'll likely get another few Sunday or Monday, as people hone their pitches a bit over the weekend, and then I expect another rush after the Thanksgiving holiday. I'll make sure that we announce when we hit 10, 25, 50, big milestone numbers.
It is entirely possible that the contest will draw less than 100 entries. I really don't know how many people would want a publishing contract like this, and it's the first time we've done an open call contest like RPG Superstar.

There are now 26 entries submitted to the Valhalla Calling contest, with 30 days left until the deadline.
The judges will accept up to 74 more entries. Maybe people will use the Thanksgiving holiday (in the US) to write up a pitch. Maybe not.
I'll try to update again when we hit around 50 or 60 entries.

If we'd be happy writing the adventure for AGE or Pathfinder, can we indicate that, or do we have to pick one?

I'd prefer people to indicate one or the other. I suppose "both" is possible but unlikely.

| Don't know that I'll be doing the Valhalla thing, but do you have any places you could point someone who would like some guidance designing their first campaign? |

32 pitches are in, last time I checked. Still 3 weeks to hone a pitch if you have an idea in mind!

Once a winner has been chosen, how long would they have to write the actual adventure?

The winner will have roughly 3 months to write it. It is open to being faster or slower, but that is a decent estimate for someone who is a new designer with a full-time job and other responsibilities.

 Hey that describes me exactly! Here's to hoping mine will be the winner!
