If the brief is in pages
Write to a word count anyway. A page limit is genuinely ambiguous — a marker with a 5-page limit will not measure your margins, but they will notice a submission that is half the length of everybody else's. Convert the pages to words with thepages to words calculator and write to that number instead.
