Presenter Rules & Guidelines

Thinking about pitching?
Check out our process, requirements, and some examples for Pitch-A-Friend Edmonton before you submit your request to pitch!

Pitch Sign Up Process:

  1. Submit your Request to Pitch. Spots are limited, so submit early even if your presentation is not ready yet. Requesting to pitch does not guarantee a spot until you are officially confirmed.
    • After submitting the form, you will automatically receive an email with next steps. If you do not see it, please check your junk or spam folder or contact us.
    • Events where all pitch spots are full will be marked as WAITLIST ONLY. You can still sign up to join the waitlist, and we will notify you if a spot opens up.
  2. Confirm and Pay for your Spot. After submitting your form, lock in your spot by sending a confirmation payment using the directions sent to your email. This small fee shows you are committed to presenting. You will get an additional email confirming your spot once a payment is received.
    • Include your name and the event date in the transaction details if possible.
    • Waitlisted? Do not send payment yet. We will notify you if a spot opens.
  3. Create and Submit Your Pitch. Submit your presentation here anytime up to 24 hours before the event. You will receive email reminders leading up to the event. If we do not receive your presentation on time, your spot may be given to someone else. You will need the confirmation number from your email to submit your link.

Pitch Requirements:

  1. Use a shareable online presentation format. Your pitch must be submitted as a browser-based, shareable link such as Google Slides or Canva. The link must open without requiring sign-in and be set so anyone with the link can view.
  2. Keep it positive! This is NOT a roast. This event is to promote friends in a positive and fun way with the goal of helping them make a new connection!
  3. Keep it Clean. Please refrain from including nudity or inappropriate imagery.
  4. Keep it about them! Presentations are meant to be about the friends being pitched, not the presenters.
  5. Keep it between 3-5 minutes! Be imaginative, but aim to keep your "pitch" under 5 minutes. We recommend clearly stating the individual's preferred pronouns, sexual orientation, and age in the pitch.
  6. Friend must be informed, consent, and be in attendance. The friend you are pitching must attend the event as well. They must also be aware, and consent, to being pitched.
  7. Make sure your last slide has the required information. The final slide should feature a picture of the person along with their contact information (Instagram, phone number, etc.). This slide will remain displayed between pitches and will also be put on autoplay with the rest of the featured singles during the mingling portion of the event.
  8. Notify us about changes in plans. We understand that things come up, and sometimes plans change. Since spots are limited for each event, we appreciate you letting us know as soon as possible if you need to cancel. This allows us to open your spot for another single to participate and give them enough time to prepare. Please email us at least 4 days prior to the event to be eligible for a refund.
