FYI-- This came via e-mail this morning:
My name is Adam Koscielski, Director of University Relations with mtvU, MTV’s college channel. I’m currently working with heads of Programming at MTV in an effort to find talented students at schools such as Drexel University with fresh programming ideas in the genres of Animation, Comedy, and Reality/Documentaries.
In what we’ve dubbed the MTV Development Fellowship, we will be bringing 15 students to MTV’s headquarters in New York this January to pitch their original show ideas to senior executives. Through this unique opportunity, these young people will learn firsthand how a show goes from an idea, to a green light, to getting a pilot produced and presented to test audiences. 9 of the 15 concepts will be given a budget of approximately $3K to be further developed. After final review, MTV could then budget up to $100K toward the production of an actual pilot for at least 1 of the ideas.
This is an exclusive opportunity, not being promoted on-air or on-line. I am conducting very specific outreach to the schools with the very best talent. Please share this information with your students and encourage them to share their portfolio of work and original ideas at http://www.mtvfellowship.com, and reach out to me directly for more information.
Some important notes include:
· Submissions can be uploaded immediately at http://www.mtvfellowship.com. The judges will review and fill the 15 spots on a first come, first view basis.
· Students can submit ideas as an individual or as a group. If in a group, one member will be responsible to upload content, but all members must create their own accounts.
· Submissions are acceptable in any format -- uploaded video, document files, jpegs, etc., -- and students can also describe their concept in the 'About Me' area. Only judges can see the submissions, the site is not for public viewing.
· Submitting content will require signature of a user content submission agreement. Students will retain all copyrights to their individual ideas during the preliminary submission process and are only providing MTV with the opportunity to consider their submission.
