Terms and rules

We only accept streaming, episodic, and English-language (or subtitled) shows. Entries are judged based on the entirety of the submission and selections will be made based on overall quality, not individual episodes.

Official Selections will be screened at Stareable Fest provided that the screener is under 30 minutes in length. Please note that due to COVID-19 concerns, we will be waiving attendance requirements for 2020. Marketplace meetings may be taken in-person or virtually as the situation requires.

By entering your pitch in Stareable Fest 2020, you agree to the terms listed below:

"I am submitting original concepts ("the Pitch") with the intent of exposure and submission to entertainment industry executives ("pitch jury") involved in Stareable Fest (SF)'s pitch event. I understand and agree that only original and unique expressions of a story and/or concepts may be protected under intellectual property (IP) law. I acknowledge that I have requested permission to disclose and submit to SF, and its jury certain details that may or may not be protected under such laws, and it is my own responsibility to seek protection prior to exposure of my pitch by registering those materials with the Writers Guild of America ( www.wga.org ).

I understand that within the creative community of the entertainment industry it is common for similar or identical stories or concepts to be created by multiple entities unknowingly, without collaboration between them. I understand and hold harmless of liability SF and its jury for any prior or subsequent collaborations or productions involving similar or identical stories or concepts unrelated to my disclosure of my pitch and participation in the event."

Description

The 90 second pitch should feature 1-2 creators pitching their concept directly into the camera in one continuous shot. One may not use previously-filmed footage that has been cut together. Finalists will recreate their pitch live on-stage at Stareable Fest 2020 to a panel of industry executives (last year, this included Comedy Central, Vice, and Avalon). Entrants will be judged on the originality of their show concepts and why they are the right person(s) to execute this vision.
