Then you get the chance to give a two-minute pitch to a live audience of 200 people, with judges including ABC’s iview Channel Manager, Natalie Edgar, and Executive Producer of Fiction, Brett Sleigh. It’s major pants-wetting territory, according to winner Anna Lindner, the young writer who recently won Melbourne WebFest’s live pitching competition, the Pitch iview Award.
