Release: JAN 09 - £10K PRIZE FOR STUDIO PITCHING COMPETITION

An international pitching competition designed to give talented production people an opportunity to win support towards their next big studio based TV project was decided in Norwich on 26th March 2009. ‘The EPIC Pitch’ saw six finalists, including teams from the UK and Sweden, each pitch their new programme idea to a panel of industry professionals before facing questions from the judges. At stake was production support worth £10,000 provided by the East of England Production Innovation Centre (EPIC), the location of the UK E-CLIC Centre. The prize will be used by the winning team to fund studio production days and post-production activities at EPIC, in order to create a pilot or taster tape of the winning idea. The winning team was led by Nicola Hill whose idea, “I could run the country” struck a winning chord with the judging panel. The programme will give members of the public the opportunity to voice how they would run the country if they were in power. Material generated through the production will be used to promote the idea to broadcasters, commissioning editors and the wider industry.
