Calling all nonscripted producers!
The NYTVF has launched a groundbreaking nonscripted initiative with Sony Pictures Television. Submit your original nonscripted format in the form of a teaser tape by December 13th for a chance to win $10,000.


About the initiative:
Launched during the 2010 New York Television Festival, the Sony Pictures Television Format Competition invites nonscripted producers to submit a 4-8 minute teaser tape and a written treatment for a new nonscripted show.

One winner will receive a $10,000 deal from the studio and will be flown to Cannes to pitch the format to global content buyers at MIPCOM 2011, with the assistance of Sony Pictures Television. The winning producer will retain a portion of the international rights on all sales.


What are we looking for?
The NYTVF and Sony Pictures Television are looking for exciting new shows in any nonscripted genre, such as:
Docu-Soap
Game Show
Talk Show
Competition Show
The contest is seeking shows that are not only domestic formats, but could work around the world. Your show should have the potential to work in multiple regions worldwide and MUST be wholly original.
