THE 2025 PITCH GRANT A VIDEO IDEA CONTEST
Have you ever thought to yourself, "I have a great idea for a video Grant can do for the Advent Calendar?" Well, now's your chance to pitch it to me!
Announcing the 2025 PITCH GRANT A VIDEO IDEA CONTEST!
Write a one sentence pitch for an idea for an Advent Calendar video. Examples:
Grant opens the Advent Calendar door as if her's some sort of creature while a narrator describes his actions.
Grant opens the Advent Calendar as if he's accepting an award for not saying 6 7 in the previous videos.
Grant opens the Advent Calendar door as if he's doing a live stream.
Write up your one sentence pitch and send it in an email to grantsadvent@gmail.com by midnight on Friday, December 19, 2025.
Winner will have their calendar video performed and will win the contents of Door 20 as well as a big Day 20 prize box.
Things to keep in mind:
- Please keep your ideas within the realm of possibility to perform. For example: I've always wanted to have a full marching band parade through the laundry room, but that's just not possible.
- Please keep the 'cast' down to just one person, me (Grant). I love having guests but I can't be sure I'll have someone else on December 20th to film with.
- Please keep it family friendly. I mean, come on.
- All submission become property of Saturday Morning Media. If I use your idea at a later date, I'll credit you, but there will be no compensation.
- Please keep in mind it's possible someone might submit your same idea.
Prize winner will be selected at random from all entries. Winner receives the contents of Door 20 and the Door 20 prize box! Though we will send the prize as soon as we get the winner's info, we cannot promise the prize will arrive before Christmas.
