Awards:

* Finalists will receive designation as 2015 NYTVF Official Artists and an exclusive invitation to participate in the 11th annual New York Television Festival, held in NYC in October 2015.

A+E Networks Creative Brief:

A&E is the place for real, character driven stories. Sizzle reels should present innovative nonfiction programming with the elements viewers come to expect --- high stakes, authentic, unexpected.

HISTORY connects viewers with history in an informative, immersive, and entertaining manner. Characters should be bold, unique and credible experts who are surrounded by a rich world and can show their expertise through an interesting process.

LIFETIME is the #1 destination for fun, surprising and diverse female unscripted shows. Concepts should have heart, humor, and edge with heroines who are smart, sassy, loud and boundary-pushing.

DEADLINE: Monday, August 17th, 2015
