Win $100,000 to start your own TV series

Ahem, calling all creative geniuses who want to start their own television show! Both Microsoft and the New York Television Festival have teamed up to offer upcoming writers, directors and stars a chance to start their own TV mini-series on the XBLM. Starting today, Xbox Live users can submit a 5-15 minute pilot episode of their show based on any genre and ranging from live-action to animation. There's really no limitations on creative license here. And sometime in July the winning pilot episode will be chosen and offered $100,000 to create six more episodes that'll be offered exclusively on the XBLM and a screening at the 2007 New York Television Festival. We know there are a lot of creative fanboys out there, get to work and make us (and the community) proud.
