Ask TVSA: How to submit a TV show and film proposal to Showmax

Written by TVSA Team from the blog Ask TVSA on 18 Nov 2024

In Part II of our "How to" series... the answer to another question that we regularly receive.

How do I submit a proposal to Showmax? 

The latest query came from TVSA reader Rosa who asked us about both Showmax and Netflix - the Netflix details to follow soon.

But first, Showmax - there are two types of proposal submissions.

They post specific briefs on their website when they're looking for a particular show so you can respond to these when they're published.

They also have an unsolicited submissions section where you can submit your idea with a presentation of it.

You can also submit a pilot episode or show reel of your work if this is available.

Once you've uploaded your form, the Showmax team will take a look at it and will be in touch if they're interested in developing your concept. 

You'll find both of these submission types on the Showmax website here: Showmax proposals.

And here's a link to the Terms and Conditions which you need to read before submitting so that you know the legalities surrounding the process: Ts & Cs.
