ABC3 Get Your Game On!
ABC Children’s Television has announced a new initiative to be held at the SPAA Conference with up to $30,000 in development funding available.
Australian producers are invited to submit a brief concept document for a game/quiz show suitable for commissioning as a long-running, low-cost series on ABC3, the new digital free-to-air children’s TV channel. The project is aimed at an audience of kids aged 8 to 12 years.
The ABC will select four finalists who will be invited to a private pitch during the SPAA Conference with the winner to be awarded a guaranteed prize of $5,000. At the ABC’s discretion a further development funding and a pilot deal of up to $25,000 may be offered.
The project must be an original Australian concept and feature Australian kids. It must appeal to the 8 – 12 year old demographic and have a clear winner (group or individual) and not judged by opinion. The ABC is looking for a project that can be produced in high volume at low cost and suitable for playing on-line as well as watching on-air. Applicants are invited to submit a proposal of more than five pages in length. Submission details and application form available on www.spaa.org.au/conference
Submissions close 5 October. Finalists will be contacted by 12 October.
Please send your pitch along with the completed application form to: Get Your Game On, ABC Children’s Television Department, GPO Box 9994, Sydney NSW 2001
