Yes, it's still a pitch fest and MORE. For those of you who want to take no chances, you may compete for a :30 pitch and choose your medium and guest. You will receive coaching in advance, by Darice Fisher of TVGuestpert.com, and compete for one of the four pre-selected pitch slots. For those of you who live on the wild side, we'll have a lottery. Draw from one of four pitch spots and go for it ASAP.
