About

PEOPLE'S PILOT COMPETITION
TV NEEDS YOUR IDEAS NOW MORE THAN EVER!

What the PEOPLE'S PILOT COMPETITION is All About

With more networks and cable channels on television than ever before, and New Media garnering larger audiences everyday, the market for bright, fresh, and original ideas is at an all-time high.

The old pros who have been the traditional creators of TV series are hard on the job, but even they can't fill the demand. Executives and producers are ready and waiting for new people they can count on to supply them with material unlike that ever before seen.

This is the dawning of the era of YOU, THE NEW WRITER, with your unique vision. To help you sell your series, TV Writer.Com, the most successful television writing site on the Web, has created the PEOPLE'S PILOT COMPETITION.

The rewards can be enormous. Your dream for all to see. With you as the producer/head writer...and collecting the salary that accompanies that job. And all you have to do is commit your dreamchild to paper. Only a few short pages containing the title of your series idea, the main thrust of the storyline or storylines, the characters, and the setting.

That's right. This isn't a screenplay or teleplay contest. Television networks and cable channels don't buy series pilot scripts, they develop them with their creators and production companies and packaging agencies they trust.

The winners of the PEOPLE'S PILOT COMPETITION will be working with Cloud Creek Institute For The Arts, a not-for-profit corporation dedicated to the advancement of the arts and the world's first ongoing Media Colony, where new artists and old pros alike can live and work together, learning from each other.

Cloud Creek Institute For The Arts is the parent company of TV WRITER.COM and is doing all it can to help establish a new entertainment paradigm, where content delivery methods such as cell phone, ITunes and webcasting take their place as equals to broadcast and cable TV.

The winners' work will also be shown to the members of the Cloud Creek Institute For The Arts Board of Advisors on a first-look basis. This Board includes such luminaries as:

  • Chip Chalmers - Director, Prof. Florida State U.
  • June Clark - Agent Peter Rubie Literary Agency
  • Calvin Clements, Jr - Edgar-Winning TV Writer
  • Gerry Conway - Film/TV Writer, Prod. "Law & Order: Criminal Intent"
