As we’re wrapping up production of Season 4 of Everyday Edisons (look for it on public television stations beginning in mid-April), we’re ready to kick off our Season 5 casting calls!
More details will follow in the coming weeks via our forums, blogs, Twitter and Facebook posts. If you aren’t already following us on Twitter and Facebook to get the latest Everyday Edisons and Edison Nation news, you should be!
Last season, we broke our casting calls into six categories and staggered the launches so that it wasn’t too overwhelming. In hindsight, that staggering of launches might have actually made it more difficult on you guys so this time, we’re keeping it simple: just two online open searches, which will run back-to-back.
The first online casting call will run Tuesday, Feb 21 – Monday, April 2.
The second online casting call will run Tuesday, April 3 – Monday, April 30.
After reviewing the ideas and picking the best of the best, we will fly up to 50 inventors to Charlotte this summer for an in-person casting call extravaganza. We’ll put you up in a nice hotel and throw a great reception and dinner with some inventing dignitaries to help you relax on Friday and it’s game-on come Saturday morning! This experience will be very similar to the fun-filled, educational (yes, it can be both!) time that the Season 4 finalists all enjoyed. Check out photos from Season 4’s in-person casting call in our blog: http://blog.edisonnation.com/2011/03/02/everyda...
While we’re getting everything together, you might also want to check out the Casting Call Q&A from last season: http://blog.edisonnation.com/2010/12/17/everyda...

I don’t think that’s so pressing right away. Just as any other LPS, it’s a “would be nice” thing, but hardly necessary to be successful.

Yolanda it’s basically the same as any other LPS. I try to select tweaked ideas from my inventory (or new ones) that may have a “story” to them for “good tv”…but of course see where that got me.
But to expel your fears, it’s just another day at the office for this one.

Hey everybody it would be great if each of us had an idea that was chosen; finally meet each other in person, it would be like a family reunion here you meet that cousin you have only heard about or that aunt that lives in Texas that you’ve never meet, always gives you something on your birthday and Christmas and you call on the phone. Exciting, nerve racking, and life changing!

I am going to try real hard to get on this one. I am so excited. Currently, I am drafting the stories behind each of my inventions.
See Greg, I really just want to be like you and Eric… ;-)

That’s right Eric.
Prepare yourselves for immersion therapy in patience. I like to say that gardening is an example of instant gratification compared to this.

I’m new to EN, I’m very excited about having a place to submit ideas, and I’m equally excited about having other inventors that’s willing to share their knowledge and experience.

Eric, I guess if something we submit through Talva got chosen, I’d be thrilled to go and be with our group. Otherwise… not sure. I don’t want to discourage anyone else, of course! It’s just so stressful and intense… and I’ve got enough of that at the moment! lol

Cool! Although it might be easier for me to ‘drive’ to Charlotte from Chapel Hill rather than fly! heh heh I look forward to entering/auditioning.

Jane, go all in…what is there to loose. Some of the items that they chose for me to audition were repeated opt-ins. I’m going to try real hard again this year. You never know unless to try.

Ginger, I bet most of us opted in all of our favorites. I think all of mine went R4!! This time I think I’ll cheer from the sidelines. It is really exciting though. Can’t wait to see what they do with all our Season 4 friends.

So I am new enough here that I wasn’t around for the last Casting call – so how does it work? Can you opt in any submission you have to any LPS or can it only be something new…? Anyone with experience let me know, Thanks!

Good luck guys! I hope to see your familiar (and a lot of new) faces in Charlotte this summer!
For those of you who have questions about the ins and outs of the casting calls, we’ll be working on a big FAQ before the searches launch on Feb 21.
