Attention video-loving citizen journalist creative types—there’s an interesting opportunity out there for you to make $15,000 and get your work on the new INdTV cable channel launching this summer. They’re taking submissions from the community in an attempt to find talent (or at least that’s my guess) and thought Gizmodo readers would be prime candidates. Let me share the email I received after the jump and it’ll start making a bit more sense.

I work at INdTV, a new, independent cable TV network founded by Al Gore and Joel Hyatt that’s being created by and for young people in their twenties and thirties. It’ll begin broadcasting this summer to an audience of 18 million households and growing.
I realize that I am talking about TV, and Gizmodo is about gadgets, but I am a regular reader, and I suspect that there are some very skilled media creators out there among your readership.
This is the deal:
Right now, INdTV is running a Pilot Project to generate new ideas and new video. It’s a chance to shape the content of a new kind of TV network; get your work in front of a big audience on the web and TV; and win $15,000.
There’s more information at our website — http://www.indtv.tv.
The deadline for the Pilot Project is March 1, 2005. That’s a pretty short timeline, but it’d be great to see some submissions — technology-related or not — from Gizmodo readers.
Again, this is an opportunity to shape the content of a new network, and people here are taking independently-produced video very, very seriously. And the $15,000 thing is cool too.
An opportunity to use those fancy cameras, perhaps…
