Application process
If you wish to be considered for the pitch meetings and masterclass, you must apply as a team with a project, with a two-page pitch document. For those only wishing to attend Episode 1, you can apply as an individual without a project, and all eligible applicants will be accepted (subject to capacity).
Teams will be assessed against the following criteria:
- The skills and experience of the creative team
- The strength and quality of the material provided, and
- The likelihood of the project advancing into production engaging an audience online
The number of teams selected for pitching meetings in Episode 2 will be dependent on the number of pitching sessions available (approximately 10-15).
Up to 6 teams will be selected for Episode 3.
