Pitch a Programme is making headlines

Take a look at what's happening in the news

The Pitch a programme competition, which launched earlier this year, aims to get the next generation of creative minds thinking like a real-life programme commissioner.

 

There are two exciting categories: key stage 3 and key stage 4, and each school can enter up to three entries in each.

 

The competition provides a platform where students can get creative and design their very own programme trailer, which they will pitch to a panel of Channel 4 judges. All entries will be scored at the national finals based on how well they met the brief, the presentation of the programme idea, and the video trailer.

   

The Pitch a Programme competition has been featured in a variety of news outlets, including Bromsgrove Standard, Devon Daily, Exeter Daily, and Hexham Courant, to name a few. 

 

It’s exciting to see the extensive coverage of the competition so far and we can't wait to see how many brilliant minds join the contest and contribute their exciting new programme ideas.
