Artists Can Submit Their
Crowdfunding Idea for a Chance to be Featured on TV 

And Win $5,000 Toward Their
Project

Santa Monica, CA – August 4,
2015            

Ovation, America’s only
arts network, and RocketHub, a leading crowdfunding platform, are announcing
their partnership to launch Creative Studio, a joint initiative designed to
assist artists in funding their creative projects. The announcement was made
today by Charles Segars, CEO of Ovation, and Brian Meece, CEO of RocketHub, and
is set to go live in October.

“As an independent network,
Ovation is committed to empowering the next generation of artists. We are
inspired and motivated by the level of talent in the independent artistic
community; by partnering with a crowdfunding platform, the launch of Creative
Studio extends our core mission in a new and innovative way,” said Segars.
“Creative Studio addresses a very real obstacle that many artists face in
obtaining funding for their projects and furthers Ovation’s commitment to the
arts and digital expansion.”

Creative Studio will provide
valuable pre-launch tips and training, marketing support, on-air promotion on
Ovation TV, social media marketing and on-going support throughout fund-raising
campaigns. Additionally, Creative Studio will offer artists and content
creators a proven strategy for generating successful funding for their
projects.

Ovation and RocketHub are
seeking a variety of different projects to launch Creative Studio.

Submissions received between
August 4 and September 4, 2015 will be judged by a panel of arts, television
and crowdfunding experts from around the country. Each of the top three
projects will be awarded $5,000 in seed funding to help jumpstart their project
on Creative Studio, as well as a chance to be featured on TV.

“By working with Ovation, we
are offering an amazing opportunity for artists to raise awareness for their
projects, as well as providing them with the freedom to act on their vision
with full creative control,” notes Meece. “The
$5,000 incentive is an incredible way to boost a crowdfunding campaign, so we
