Deadline: Friday, January 15, 2010, 12:00 noon EST
The New York Television Festival and ION Television are offering aspiring drama writers the opportunity to
win $40,000, a development deal with ION, and the possibility to have your original dramatic screenplay produced as a TV movie to air on ION Television! Ideally, ideas submitted by entrants will be for a two-hour made-for-TV movie that could potentially serve as a pilot for launching an hour-long drama procedural TV series. The ideal script would have a strong central character or team of characters and a plot that focuses on the introduction, investigation, and solution of a central problem or mystery. An ending that leaves the door open to further stories or sequels involving some or all of the same characters is recommended.
To enter, submit a treatment describing your idea (5-10 pages) and the first act of the script (15-40 pages). Scripts must be entered by uploading them in a PDF format on the NYTVF upload page or via Withoutabox. The contest will stop accepting entries on deadline date or if 1,500 valid entries are submitted, whichever comes first.
