Exactly this is meant.

0?"HELLO" are 9 characters. It doesn't matter that ? becomes PRINT. Count characters before list. An example in Atari Basic:
1F.I=1TO10:N.I = 14 characters
LIST
1 FOR I=1 TO 10: NEXT I = 23 characters, but it counts 14 characters

 Re: BASIC Tenliners Contest 2016

Hey, this is pretty interesting stuff, and actually sounds like fun! There's time until March, so I hope there will be some Plus/4 entries.

I think the rules definitely need some clarifying though... Basically each category come down to this: "Write a game in 10 lines (max. 80 characters per logical line, abbreviations are allowed)". Instead of 80, let's go with 10, to illustrate my questions:

0 ?"HELLO"

This is exactly 10 characters. So I'm guessing the line number and the space are counted, but either case, that should be stated explicitly. Secondly, is the PRINT allowed like that? Is that what is meant by "abbreviations are allowed"? Cause that's a bit weird, once you LIST this program, it comes out to 14 chars (? becomes PRINT, so that's Plus/4 wink)

 BASIC Tenliners Contest 2016

I want to invite all BASIC programmers to our tiny programming contest. Last year we had a contest with 40 games on different platforms. Plus/4 didn't belong to the legal systems. Nonetheless we received one game that was runable on plus/4 (it was programmed for legal system C128 and was compatible to BASIC 3.5).
This year we opened the contest for all 8 bit computers and I hope we will see some programs for plus4/c16/c116.
For details about the contest please look at the contest site: http://gkanold.wix.com/homeputerium#!basic-tenliners-2016/c450
