    Click "My Tongal." About halfway down the page in the lefthand column...

    Hi Yogesh, since ideas are 140 characters long, it is probably best to think of them as a log line.

    I submitted a pitch but it didn't win. Am I now S.O.L.? I'm thinking that it would be a waste to create the ad after it's already not been selected in the pitch phase...

    Definitely, not. I think it's important to take into account how many pitches were submitted. If we're talking about SpeedStick, it was over 260, which is a Tongal record.

    Guys, I want to submit a video based on a pitch winner but I cant see the pitch content ("title private")What that means?? just the applicants to phase one can particpate on phase 2, on this case??

    It depends on the project, which one are you referring to.

    You may still submit a wildcard video not based on any of the winning content from the previous phase. Three such wildcard videos will be awarded prizes and can place anywhere in the spectrum 1st - 11th.

    Ok, so I can submit a wilcard then. But why I cant see the ideas content in this example? is because the phase is closed? Thx

    You cannot see the winning pitches to prevent information cascades. They will be made public after the video winners are announced.

    So if I wanted, I could film my own personal idea for this Speed Stick video, submit it, and it still has a chance to win, even though I didn't enter my idea in phase 1?

    Yes, absolutely.

    An Idea can only be used by a client if you have been compensated for said idea.
