CBC Creator Network is accepting pitches from emerging digital creators producing unique, diverse content
What is the Creator Network?
The Creator Network is a group of CBC producers across the country, who mentor and guide emerging digital storytellers as they create relevant and original content.
The goal is to bring more authentic and diverse stories to CBC platforms, including our websites, streaming service GEM, local television programs, current affairs shows and other CBC departments such as arts, life and Indigenous.
What are we looking for?
We are specifically looking for emerging content creators to make short videos (5 minutes and under) for an 18 to 30-year-old audience.
Content creators can be writers, filmmakers, vloggers, photographers, journalists, artists, animators, foodies or anyone else with a compelling idea and visual plan for bright and bold content.
We want creators to tell stories through their own lens, and we will license and pay for the content.
Content should be video-based, but can also include other treatments including web stories, animation, audio features, tutorials, explainers, photo essays and more.
We are not looking for pitches for reality shows or scripted series involving actors or performers. For more information about how to pitch those types of projects, click here.
Here are a few examples of Creator Network content:

How to pitch to us
If you're a creator with a great idea, we want to hear from you.
Be sure to include details about your idea and how your perspective is unique.
Also, consider the visuals you want to use, your timeline, your team, and what you hope the finished product will look like.
