Pitch Up 2009 – April 2nd

Here’s an exclusive heads up about the latest edition of our successful TV pitching event, ‘Pitch Up’.

Once again, we’ve joined forces with the great people at Channel 4 to give you the chance to pitch to the people who matter.

The event will take place in the evening of the 2nd April. But to get there you have to send your amazing idea in. The standard was high last year but this time we’re prioritising ORIGINALITY and CREATIVITY. What haven’t you seen onscreen that you think would work brilliantly? How often have you stood in the pub and said “Why haven’t they made that?”

Now’s your chance.

Get your idea down, it needs to be 100 words or less. It can be a drama, documentary, entertainment or features idea – anything goes. Be as concise as possible but always keep in mind what makes your idea different.

Then go to www.stellarnetwork.com, click on the events tab and go to the ‘Pitch Up 2009′ section to register. Fill in your details and copy and paste in your pitch.

Each entry costs £5 for non-members, and it’s FREE for Stellar Network members

On the 2nd April our panel of execs will sit down and here the top 20 pitches LIVE. There’ll pick out their top 3 who will win a great selection of prizes, and might even see their idea on screen

We’ve managed to secure an incredible panel, including Alistair Pegg who commissions factual entertainment at Channel 4, Jago Lee, a vastly experienced executive producer, currently at Blink and Benjamin McGrath, who works in drama development at ITV.

Plus, we’re finalising some very special additional panelists – more details very soon!

The deadline for entries is 14th March – so get writing!
