--Original Pilots
--Sitcoms
--One-hour dramas
--Reality shows

This is a great opportunity to get your television project into the right hands (in addition to winning cash and other prizes). Deadline for entries is May 15th.

Total prize money: $500

One Grand Prize Winner will be awarded $500.

First place Winners in three categories: Pilot, Spec, Reality
