Got a show idea that deserves a stage? This is your shot — pitch it to a panel of LUSH producers and win a fully sponsored show with a guaranteed time slot in August. Think Shark Tank meets The Voice, but with way more glitter and heart. Four shows will be selected to trial, and one will rotate into LUSH's regular programming. Can't make it in person? Film your pitch and submit it instead. Bring your team, your fans, your energy.
