IFC wants television show pitches

The Independent Film Channel (IFC) is holding a nationwide pitch contest for the best idea for a television show. You just have to sit in front of a camcorder for one minute and pitch your idea. It has to be one, continuous take that is no longer than one minute. The videos are due by August 4, but IFC is only accepting 10,000 entries so it could end before that date. IFC will choose ten finalists who get to fly to NYC to pitch their idea live to a panel of industry folk and celebrities (oh my God) and then the winner receives a whopping $8,000 development deal that hopefully only covers the pilot but the rules don't really say.

*The contest is also sponsored by the NY Television Festival. (Sorry for the oversight, Ben)
