Description

Have you got a minute for the world’s fastest growing social media platform? TikTok, SPA, and Screen Australia have collaborated on this initiative designed to help Australian storytellers share their unique voices and stories with the world via the exciting format of short-form mobile video content. ‘Got a Minute?’ calls for participants to submit a pilot for a high quality 10 x 1 minute series that shows that engaging stories can be told in a minute.

A live pitching competition where 3 finalists screen their 1 minute pilot, answer questions from an expert industry panel, and compete for $25,000 to make a series of 10 x 1 minute episodes for the TikTok platform. The panel will award votes out of 10 with the winner taking home $15,000 to boost the production of their series and the runners up $5,000 each.
