The Producers Guild of America announced the 11 finalists in the 2013 Producers Showcase competition on Monday, with five feature films, three reality television projects and three online projects competing for prize packages and development deals.
The competition, also called ProShow, is open to producers who are working to get film, television or online projects off the ground. The finalists will receive award packages worth more than $20,000, along with free admission to the 2013 Produced By Conference, which will take place on June 8 and 9 at 20th Century Fox.
One winner in each category will be announced at the conference, and will receive development deals with Fox International Pictures (feature film category), Ryan Seacrest Productions (reality television category) and Maker Studios (online category).
The ProShow competition is in its fourth year, and is designed to offer up-and-coming producers the chance to work with top producers, financiers and distributors.
This is the first year for ProShow’s Reality Television and Online Content categories.
Finalists were chosen by members of the PGA’s International Committee and by representatives from the three development sponsors.
