Innov8 Call for Participants
December 13, 2011
Red Pepper Productions, an independent TV Production Company based in Dublin are currently seeking participants for a brand new TG4 series called ‘Innov8’.
‘Innov8’ is an unashamedly positive TV series in which individual or small groups of teenagers between 13 and 18 years old pitch their business ideas in order to get mentoring and support from proven entrepreneurs.
In a push to attract interested participants we would urge schools throughout the country, and Business Studies teachers in particular, to encourage students to come forward with innovative concepts or designs. The best ones will be selected by a panel of established Irish entrepreneurs and receive mentoring from them with a view to bring their ideas to fruition over a set period of time. This journey will be filmed and broadcast on TG4 in the Autumn of 2012. Ultimately, we are seeking projects that will either improve local communities or encourage a new generation in the ways of business building.
The student deemed most successful by an independent jury will win a cash prize of 5,000 euro for their school and an individual prize that will be tailored to match their field of interest. There will also be sizeable prizes for the runners-up.
Red Pepper Productions have been making series for all national broadcasters including “Ó Tholg Go Tolg” (TG4), “Back to School” (TV3) agus “Only Fools Buy Horses” (RTÉ).
For more information on ‘Innov8’ and how to apply please contact martin@redpepper.ie or call 087 865 1069.
