10K Award for Unscripted TV Treatment

By IDA Editorial Staff


A&E and NYTVF Seeking Original Unscripted Treatments
Winner Receives 10K and Opportunity to Create a Pilot

A&E Network and the New York Television Festival are introducing an innovative program seeking original unscripted television treatments from independent producers and production companies - the A&E Unscripted Development Pipeline. Concepts and treatments should center on individuals or small groups that represent unique points of view.

25 semi-finalists will be presented to A&E development executives. Five finalists, selected by A&E, will each receive notes on their projects and $2,500 to shoot additional tape. One winner, selected by A&E, will be awarded $10,000 and will participate in the production of the network pilot presentation. To be considered, producers must submit a short treatment (1-2 pages) along with a brief video introducing the subject(s).

The NYTVF accepts entries from June 20 through July 15, 2011. Free to enter. More info: nytvf.com/2011_ae_pipeline.htm
