Dear Friends,

The NYTVF is proud to announce that Lifetime Television has joined the Flying Solo TV Pilot Contest! Lifetime will assist the NYTVF and Procter & Gamble Productions in promoting the contest and will exclusively present the pilots starring the winners of the contest later this year on MyLifetime.com.


The “Flying Solo TV Pilot Contest” invites recent female college graduates to audition for the chance to make their lives the subject of a television pilot produced by PGP. The pilot will be shopped to network partners of the NYTVF for distribution. These pilots will combine professionally shot, third-person footage of the subject’s life with first-person footage shot by the subject. The objective is to discover budding female storytellers who not only lead interesting lives, but also have a unique ability to capture and present them on video.

The deadline for entries has been extended until Tuesday, June 3rd, so if you are a recent female college graduate, enter today for your chance to star in a TV show about your life today! If you know a recent female college grad, please spread the word of this unique opportunity to get started on a career in television.

Submissions will stop being taken at 11:59 PM Eastern on June 13th or when the contest receives 1,500 entries, whichever comes first.
