FROM SET TO SCREEN: THE SITCOM SEARCH
A Sitcom Pitch Initiative for Comedy Performers - Presented by the New
York Television Festival and Just for Laughs
NYTVF and Just for Laughs are looking for hilarious new sitcom ideas
(and the masterminds behind them) to compete in a first-ever joint
initiative slated for the Just for Laughs Comedy Conference in
Montreal, July 26 – 28, 2012. Five finalists will be selected to pitch
live during the event before a panel of comedy experts with one winner
selected for exclusive showcase opportunities and participation at the
2012 New York Television Festival in October.
More info here: http://www.nytvf.com/2012_jfl.html
For consideration, creators will be asked to submit a series treatment
and outline along with supporting video and will retain all rights to
their concepts throughout the process.
What are we looking for?
Some of the world's most beloved TV shows stemmed from comedy
performers with a strong story and point of view that uniquely
translated to the small screen. From The Cosby Show and Seinfeld to
Everybody Loves Raymond, Ellen and Louie – a substantial swath of
television history has been paved by comedians and we're looking for
the next big thing. Submissions should be based on or inspired by
stories, sketches or characters that have been developed and honed by
performance. Single-camera, multi-camera or animation concepts are
welcome. We're looking for fresh sitcom ideas that make us laugh.
How do you submit?
All entries must be submitted via the Just For Laughs upload page and
must include the following:
• Series treatment
• Summaries for 4 episodes
• Professional CV
• Supporting Video
• A non-refundable fee of $40.00 CAD
• Full rules and submission requirements can be found at
http://comedyconference.hahaha.com/info
ALL ENTRIES ARE DUE BY MAY 18, 2012
Got more projects in the works?
The NYTVF is also currently accepting submissions for The FOX Comedy
Script Contest (http://www.nytvf.com/2012_fox_contest.html), The
Lifetime Unscripted Development Pipeline (http://www.nytvf.com/
2012_lifetime_pipeline.html) and the 8th Annual Independent Pilot
Competition (http://www.nytvf.com/2012_ipc.html).
