ABC Commercial and Open Channel have announced a new pitching competition that will be held during the Generation Next Kids Conference at Docklands Studios on July 22-23.

All emerging producers, writers and creators are encouraged to produce a one-page concept for submission to win a $2,000 prize.

Natalie Lawley, Manager, ABC Content Sales said “We’re excited to be working with the Open Channel in supporting and nurturing new talent. The pitching competition is an opportunity for emerging practitioners to really show us what they can do. I am looking forward to seeing some really fresh and creative concepts originate from this project.”

Marc Gracie, Acting Executive Direct, Open Channel confirmed “This is evidence that we are delivering real opportunities and I am very pleased that ABC Commercial is committed to working with Open Channel to support the talent of the future. It is in our interests to offer up mentoring initiatives, when so many have ceased.”

The full set of criteria is available for review at Open Channel’s website.
