SPAA Fringe 2009 is offering up and coming filmmakers unprecedented access to television executives. Commissioning Editors from Foxtel, ABC and SBS will be in attendance for a series of 1on1's to receive pitches from delegates for new television projects. This is an amazing opportunity for all emerging producers, directors or writers to get their work in front of the real decision makers, and turn their ideas into reality.

If you have an idea for a screen project and are wondering if it has legs, then this session is not to be missed. Finalists from a nationwide search of pitching workshops (held in each state by members of the SDA) will pitch their projects to a panel of television & film executives and be in the running to win prizes valued at more than $3,000.

Entrants may pitch any genre, form and duration from TV series and features to shorts, animation and multi-platform content. A 'Wild Card' component to the session will be allowed, time permitting.

Prizes include:
-SPAA Conference 09 registration
-$1800 cash prize from SDA (and $200 for a 'Wild Card')
-Software and post production package from Azure Productions including a full copy of the new Final Draft 8 Scriptwriting Software valued at $329, a copy of your short film project output on DigiBeta tape, 50 DVD copies of your project in DVD cases with full colour printing.
