National Exposure Opportunities

Here is an opportunity for national exposure.

2 HGTV Media Opportunities
HGTV in conjunction with KPI-TV (NY) and NBC (NY) are looking for landscape architects with projects for two shows: “Extreme Rooftops” and “Great Outdoor Rooms.”

Media Opportunity #1:
DETAILS: KPI-TV (NY) is working with HGTV on a special program called "Extreme Rooftops". They're in the process of shooting now and need some additional projects to feature. They're looking for rooftop projects that might be in bloom now, preferably open air (not greenhouse type roofs).

Any project submitted for consideration must be:
Residential (not a condo or apartment building – private homes only)
In bloom now
Available for taping this month
PROJECT SUBMISSIONS DUE BY JANUARY 9

Media Opportunity #2:
DETAILS: NBC (NY) is working with HGTV on a program entitled "Great Outdoor Rooms". They're looking for landscape architects that will be creating an outdoor room in the spring, or that will be finishing one up in the spring. Again, the focus is residential.

Any project submitted for consideration must be:
Residential (not a condo or apartment building – private homes only)
Scheduled for construction and completion this spring (January to April)
Available for taping between January and April
PROJECT SUBMISSIONS DUE BY JANUARY 17

If you’re interested in submitting a project for the HGTV producers, please send all information to Ashley Owens at http://us.f815.mail.yahoo.com/ym/Compose?To=aowens@asla.org or contact her at 202-216-2371. Please include the media opportunity you are interested in and provide a brief project description (3-4 sentences or more); the beginning and completion dates of the project; the location; and, the landscape architect’s name.

We realize that these shows have many constraints and specific requirements, which is why we’re reaching out to all of our members. These are great opportunities that we should take advantage of. We hope someone has a project that fits the requirements – great exposure for you, your firm, and ASLA!
