NYTVF's blog


The New York Television Festival is the first creative festival of its kind, offering producers, writers, and directors the unprecedented opportunity to showcase their independently produced television pilots directly for network executives and general audiences.
 

Since its first year in 2005, the Festival has received hundreds of original television pilots and scripts from independent producers and has helped them get deals with major networks, official representation, and industry recognition.
 

The NYTVF hosts a variety of script and television pilot contests throughout the year, and the annual Festival in September offers a number of free screenings, production workshops, parties, panels, happy hours, and red-carpet premieres of new fall shows.

New drama screenplay contest with NYTVF and ION Television. Win $40,000 and a dev deal

The New York Television Festival has teamed up with ION Television to offer aspiring drama writers the opportunity to win $40,000, a development deal with ION, and the possibility to have your original dramatic screenplay produced as a TV movie to air on the ION Network!

Enter “Act I: The ION TV Movie Contest” and submit your original idea for a dramatic TV movie. One winner will receive $40,000 and a development deal with ION Television. Up to 25 finalists have the opportunity to earn a first-look deal with ION.

The submission period will open at 12:00 noon Eastern on October 26 and will close at 12:00 noon Eastern on January 15, 2010. Visit http://www.nytvf.com/2009_ion_contest.htm for more details!

Ideally, the ideas submitted by entrants will be for a two-hour made-for-TV movie that could potentially serve as a pilot for launching an hour-long drama procedural TV series.

We are looking for procedural dramas meant for mature audiences. The ideal script would have a strong central character or team of characters and a plot that focuses on the introduction, investigation, and solution of a central problem or mystery. An ending that leaves the door open to further stories or sequels involving some or all of the same characters is recommended.
