MTV Networks’ Comedy Central and iFilm are partnering to launch a contest for show creator wannabes, giving them the opportunity to win a development deal to produce a series on MotherLoad, Comedy Central’s broadband channel, according to Broadcasting & Cable.

Creators can submit one- to five-minute pilots from May 22 through August 24 to ComedyCentral.com. Comedy Central staff will choose three pilots to stream online each week, with visitors to the site ranking the staff picks. The winning pick will move on to the final competition.

iFilm, which MTV Networks bought in October for $49 million, is providing the submission platform.
