AND all the finalists will be invited for an interview with the panel of the National Film and Television School - UK's top film school. Plus, ten runners-up will receive Movie Magic screenwriting software.

People's Pilot Competition |
| |
With more networks and cable channels on television than ever before, and New Media garnering larger audiences everyday, the market for bright, fresh, and original ideas is at an all-time high.
The old pros who have been the traditional creators of TV series are hard on the job, but even they can't fill the demand. Executives and producers are ready and waiting for new people they can count on to supply them with material unlike that ever before seen.
This is the dawning of the era of YOU, THE NEW WRITER, with your unique vision. To help you sell your series, TV Writer.Com, the most successful television writing site on the Web, has created the PEOPLE'S PILOT COMPETITION.
The rewards can be enormous. Your dream for all to see. With you as the producer/head writer...and collecting the salary that accompanies that job. And all you have to do is commit your dreamchild to paper. Only a few short pages containing the title of your series idea, the main thrust of the storyline or storylines, the characters, and the setting.
That's right. This isn't a screenplay or teleplay contest. Television networks and cable channels don't buy series pilot scripts, they develop them with their creators and production companies and packaging agencies they trust. |
