'Ten K' prize for Studio Pitching Competition

When you say "Pitching" and "Norwich", I hear "Alan Partridge" and "Monkey Tennis". Perhaps the following competition can change all that?

"TV Eden and EPIC (The East of England Production Innovation Centre) have launched their second annual studio pitching competition with the winner picking up £10,000 in cash and support to produce a pilot at EPIC's Norwich based HD broadcast television studios.

Producers, Directors and members of the production community from across the UK and Europe are again being invited to pitch ideas for light entertainment, quizzes and even studio drama productions. The best six ideas will go on to pitch in front of a live audience and an industry panel, with the winner receiving £10,000 in cash and support, including two days access to EPIC HD studios and post-production and cash towards developing a pilot or taster tape for broadcasters.

For details and entry forms contact Mark Wells mark.wells@epic-tv.com. The closing date for entries is Friday 27th February 2009. 

The Live pitching event will take place on Thursday 26th March."
