PEOPLE'S PILOT COMPETITION

TV NEEDS YOUR IDEAS NOW MORE THAN EVER!

What the PEOPLE'S PILOT COMPETITION is All About

With more networks and cable channels on television than ever before, and New Media - especially online videos - 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 yourself and your series, TVWriter.Com, the most successful television writing site on the Web, has expanded the parameters of the PEOPLE'S PILOT COMPETITION. No longer is this a contest solely for short series concept proposals. As of the 17th PEOPLE'S PILOT, we are all about full pilot scripts. About jumping into the fray to give agents, showrunners, and executives what they now are looking for: Spec pilot teleplays that showcase you, the writer, at your very best...because you're writing something you believe in so strongly.

To be sure, TV execs seldom buy series pilot scripts. They prefer to develop them after hearing or reading short pitches, proposals, leavebehinds - there are almost as many names for series presentations as there are concepts for TV shows. But how do they decide whom to develop these projects with? Increasingly, the execs are using spec pilots as major criteria. If they love the writing of a spec pilot, they have the best reason in the world to trust the writer to come through in the development process. A strongly-written spec pilot shows you're ready for the gig.

And believe us when we say it's one hell of a gig. The rewards for successful television writing can be enormous. Your dream for all to see. With you as the producer/head writer...and collecting the salary that accompanies that job.

The trick is to commit your dreamchild to paper. To strut your stuff. And what better place and time to do it than here and now?

The PEOPLE'S PILOT COMPETITION is held every year and is open for entries from January 1 to June 1.

In recent years new online writing contests have been springing up with almost dizzying speed. Don't be fooled. Because of TVWriter.Com's high standing and excellent reputation throughout show business and the web, the PEOPLE'S PILOT is one of the three most respected contests anyone can enter.

Not all writing contests are created equal. Winning or placing highly in the PEOPLE'S PILOT COMPETITION means something. It's a genuine step into your future. Jump start your career with a contest win that counts.

No matter who you are, no matter where in the world you live, this is YOUR chance to make television and New Media as good as you always thought it could be!
