PEOPLE'S PILOT COMPETITION

TV NEEDS YOUR IDEAS NOW MORE THAN EVER!

1. The PEOPLE'S PILOT especially encourages NEW writers because of the fresh outlooks and original perspectives they bring to the television industry, but in the interest of obtaining the greatest variety of new concepts possible this contest is open to ALL writers at all levels in all countries in the world except as expressly forbidden in paragraph 8 below.

2. Writers-submittors may enter as many times as they wish, but each entry must be accompanied by an entry fee of $40. This fee can be paid by check or international money order in U.S. funds, or by credit card.

3. Entries can be made online, or by Mail or the equivalent messenger service, enclosing the entry form.

• The preferred method of entry is online, but mail-in entries are still being accepted.
• The preferred file format for online entries is .PDF so all the judges will be able to read them.
