Pitchers Put Up
PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS…
The hugely successful ‘Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is’ session is back at CMC for 2013, with a new team of Dragons assembled and hungry to option the next big commercial kids’ property.
We’re looking for diverse TV and multi-media ideas to be pitched live in front of an esteemed panel of investors and the CMC audience. If you think you’ve got what it takes to create the next big hit then we want to hear from you.
We want to see formats across all kids’ age ranges which display real commercial potential. Your pitch will need to include as many visuals as possible and ideally a video. The pitch must cover the key creative and commercial aspects of the proposition, including, where possible, the financial aspects of your project.
Your live pitch should be no longer than 5 minutes in duration and our Dragons will then be given the opportunity to respond and bid for an option on your idea. They’ll be offering real money in return for options, so you must be able to sign an agreement which gives a winning judge a 3 month exclusive window to talk further about the idea. You must also be aware that our judges are under no obligation to bid on any of the ideas pitched to them.
To be in with a chance to take part in the session, please submit your idea which should be no longer than one sheet of A4 paper, no later than 1st June 2013.
Send your one-pager to Jacqui Wells at: administrator@thechildrensmediaconference.com
Please include in the subject line of your email: ‘CMC Pitch’ and the name of your company.
