The Storyteller Challenge

Continuing the wave of recruiting new producing talent over the Web, MySpace, Fox and the Producers Guild of America have partnered for a new program they are calling The Storyteller Challenge. Broadcasting and Cable reports.

"The program will invite aspiring producers to enter their original five- to seven-minute pilots on a dedicated MySpace community page starting Sept. 4. The two winning entrants will each receive $25,000, as well as the chance for a development deal at Fox.

This marks the second such large-scale effort this month. Crackle (formerly Grouper) recently announced a similar plan to get Web talent in front of Sony executives by submitting their work to the site."
