Short & Sharp Pitching Competition – Call for Entries Warrnambool and Ballarat

THE PITCH IS BACK!

Entries for the 2013 SHORT & SHARP PITCHING COMPETITION in Warrnambool and Ballarat are now open. Presented by Open Channel with the support of Film Victoria, SHORT & SHARP invites screenwriters, directors and producers to submit a short treatment for a screen-based project.

Entries close 5.00pm Tuesday 24^th of September 2013

All you need is a great idea. You can pitch any genre, format or duration: from TV series and feature films to shorts, animation, documentary and transmedia. A shortlist of entrants will be invited to meet with Open Channel’s Short & Sharp producer to discuss their projects. From there a small group of finalists will be selected to present their pitch to a live audience and a judging panel of industry heavyweights on Thursday 3^rd October for Warrnambool and Tuesday 8^th October for Ballarat.

The winners of the two regional finals (Warrnambool and Ballarat) will each receive a $500 cash prize, and one winner will be selected to join the 4 Short & Sharp metro finalists to pitch at the Short & Sharp Pitching Competition in Melbourne on the 1^st November. The winning pitch from that competition will be pitched at the SPAA/Holding Redlich Pitching Competition in November.
