Telefest Independent Television Festival
Telefest
is more than a festival for television. The goal of Telefest is simple
- the revolution of television.
Telefest is as diverse as the programming currently on network and cable
TV, with 15 categories encompassing drama, comedy, reality, soaps, documentaries,
films, music videos, stand up comedy, how-to shows, political shows, animation,
commercials, teleplays and more. To see all the categories and descriptions,
go to the Official Site.
With more cable networks than ever before there is a high demand for fresh,
original and unique programming. Additionally, many networks and studios
are already airing or filming original series for the internet.
On the flip side, all that programming equals heavy competition. More
shows are canceled each year than succeed. Thus, there is strong motivation
among networks, studios and cable to identify what the
audience wants next.
We
have solved the issue of finding the freshest talent today in a convenient
format with audience feedback built in for key decision makers. Plus...
Telefest is unique in that only the audience determines the winners. What
does this mean for the contestants? No politics, no gimmicks and no secrets.
What does this mean for key decision makers? No politics, no gimmicks
and no secrets.
Telefest awards the winners from each category with a full page ad in
Variety promoting their wins as well as their own 5 page web site (including
streaming video to promote their work and/or show) We provide the winner
of each category with hosting for their site for one year. We provide
the winner of each category with their own forum to interact with the
public. Additional prizes from our sponsors are likely to be awarded to
winners as well.
Telefest awards all contestants with exposure and a link for their project
on the Telefest site from November, 2006 through January, 2007.
The
top contestants from each category will have that exposure continued and
expanded. The top finalists for each category will be added to the site
in a separate voting process from March, 2007 through May, 2007. The winner
of each category will have their presentations online until November,
2007.
For the audience, Telefest is a festival made for them. Telefest will
be promoted to audiences as a place for visitors to judge the TV festival
and interact with the contestants and other TV fans via the forums and
chat rooms. Telefest will be a site that enables audiences to express
THEIR viewing preferences to networks, studios and cable and artists.
