ATX Television Festival Pitch Competition

I rarely, if ever, promote writing competitions. However this one has come to my attention with a strong recommendation from Kyle Killen, screenwriter and TV writer (Awake, Lone Star, Mind Games) who I have interviewed and met in Austin. The event is the ATX Television Festival Pitch Competition. Here is what Kyle, who is one of the judges, has to say about it:

“In my experience, every human being who’s ever watched television has a brilliant idea for a show. The pitch competition provides an utterly unique opportunity. Not only do you get to battle test that idea, the winner gets the opportunity to present it directly to the people who actually turn ideas into television. If there’s another competition that puts you in that position or offers a learning experience half as valuable, I haven’t heard of it.”

Here is a fun compilation of some of the finalists from the 2012 competition:

Deadline for entries: January 16, 2015.
