Pitching Opportunities

Bell Broadcast and New Media Fund iPitch $10,000 Development Prize

(Submissions Closed)

The Bell Broadcast and New Media Fund is pleased to present iPitch 2008 - Where Television Gets Interactive. It's time to get interactive! In the digital era, television programs can't compete if they don't have an associated interactive component. Digital producers are creating cutting edge interactive content, and leading broadcasters are supporting interactive projects on multiple platforms to engage a wider audience and spice up traditional television. Television and digital producers are encouraged to submit their interactive cross-platform project ideas for the opportunity to pitch and win up to $10,000 for the development of their project.

The three finalists will pitch their projects to a prestigious panel of domestic and international broadcasters on Monday, June 9, 2008. Finalists will receive valuable feedback, network with their peers, and have their ideas heard by industry experts. The finalists are encouraged to make visual presentations regarding content or demonstration of development to date and business plans. Each pitch will be followed by a round of questions from the experts and the audience. After, the ballots are cast, the winner will be announced at the closing ceremonies of the Festival on Wednesday, June 11, 2008.

The winner of this year's iPitch will also win a scholarship covering tuition, registration fee, meals and accommodation, airfare within Canada, and airport shuttle to attend The Banff Centre's New Media Institute's Interactive Screen Program.

Congratulations To Our Winner!
