Well now you can!!
The OPTUS ONE80PROJECT is back and is on the hunt for the next big thing in TV!
Now in its 5th year, the local joint initiative - between Optus and MTV Australia, and in association with Event Cinemas – officially launches today!
So for all you wannabe directors, producers and script-writers out there, this is your chance to bring the next ‘Great Australian Drama’ to life!
All you need to do is upload a 180 second pilot and treatment RIGHT HERE and you could see YOUR idea turned into a big shot on the small screen – as well as bagging a share of $20,000 cash!
And we can reveal that Logie-award winning Aussie actress, and star of last years’ winning entry ‘Dungoona,’ Kat Stewart, is returning to join the project’s judging panel!
Talking about her excitement at being part of the competition for the second year running, she said,
“I am delighted to be involved in the OPTUS ONE80PROJECT again – this time as a judge. I applaud this competition’s commitment to acknowledging and promoting fresh ideas and new talent. As an actor it was a great experience to witness first-hand what OPTUS ONE80 PROJECT enabled the inspiring team behind Dungoona to accomplish. I can’t wait to see what this year’s entries bring.”
To enter, you’ll need to upload a 180 second pilot and treatment onto the OPTUS ONE80PROJECT website one80project.com.au, from 12pm (AEDT), Friday October 15, 2010 until 5pm (AEDT), Friday January 14, 2011. All entries must be suitable for viewing on Optus smartphones and 3G mobile phones, internet and TV.
The public can choose the winner of the Peoples’ Choice Awards by voting for 10 shortlisted pilots which will be available for Optus mobile customers to view on their 3G smartphones or mobile phones via the Optus ZOO Mobile TV site, or streamed from one80project.com.au from Monday, January 24, 2011 until Friday, February 25, 2011. Winners of the Judges’ Choice Award and the Public Vote Award will be revealed at the OPTUS ONE80PROJECT Festival during March 2011.
Both winners will receive a prize package that will include a share in over $20,000 cash. The winner of the Judges’ Choice Award will work with MTV’s production team to shape their pilot into a full-length multi-platform drama which will premiere on Optus ZOO web and mobile portals and on MTV Australia.
