Food Channel’s Pitch Place Contest
Posted by The Editorial Desk / Wednesday, December 21st, 2011
The Food Channel, a website home to food inspiration, is currently hosting a contest called Pitch Place to find their next hit show.
“Some of the best ideas are in the minds of people who now have the simple tools in hand to create their own idea,” Food Channel Editor in Chief Kay Logsdon says. “Anyone can make a video with a smartphone and a friend. We decided it was time to give them a showcase for their ideas.”
One grand prize winner will receive an Android Tablet. Runners up will qualify to be placed in shows on foodchannel.com and the possibility of going on to earn contracts for other shows.
“We’re looking for new ideas,” Logsdon says. “Give us your talent in a food-related drama or comedy. Show us how to demonstrate food differently. Let your passion come across.”
Contest entries should consist of two- to three-minute videos that are both food related and family friendly. The entries should include short synopses of the show to give judges a full understanding of the pitch. When finished with your video entry, it must be uploaded to Facebook or YouTube, following the contest rules.
The contest deadline is midnight on Monday, January 9. Food Channel’s fans will be able to vote on the contest entries on Facebook from January 18-February 8.
Any questions can be emailed to pitchplace@foodchannel.com. For more information, visit www.foodchannel.com.
