BING 'DECISIONS' PROJECT

The New York Television Festival is teaming up with Microsofts innovative decision engine Bing and branded entertainment visionary Ben Silvermans Electus to develop a new show created by a member of the NYTVF community.

Contest Theme:
* The theme of the competition is "Decisions." How you showcase that theme is up to you, but it must be central to the story or format of the show.
* The show can be scripted or nonscripted, with any format or tone.

Award:
* The winner receives a $25,000 development deal with Bing & Electus

What do I need to submit?
* A 3 to 15 minute pilot presentation that showcases the theme "Decisions."
* A one sheet describing the show

You are free to incorporate Bing into the pilot itself, though that is not necessary. If you do feature Bing explicitly, keep in mind it is available across a wide variety of platforms, and please use an artistic eye in deciding how to incorporate it. Avoid overuse. Remember that the most important part of your entry is the show itself. The winner receives a $25,000 development deal with Bing & Electus.

Deadline:
January 31, 2011
