I haven't gone through all of them to make sure they all qualify yet, but right now it looks like 196 entries. That is a record number of authors participating in any EA contest. These contests used to allow two entries per author, and even then it's more stories than either of the two previous Podcastle contests. I believe only two EA contests had more stores: the first one, back when only Escape Pod existed, and Contest IV: Pseudopod, which got 212 and is why we now limit to one submission per author.
