Hey you brilliant peeps - While you keep the #UnhingedPit posts rolling in, be sure to bookmark your fave pitch (not your own) so you can nominate the author on our awards post tomorrow!
Pitch to your timeline and the industry professionals tend to search the tag. Remember, many are pitching and they can’t see all. So a ‘like’ is to be celebrated, but the most important part is to have fun!
We do not give out a list of those participating.
Then you know exactly what you’re doing.
For all our baddies out there who take things very literally, for today's #UnhingedPit just pick a time zone and roll with it. We do not care if you live in Australia but post in Chicago's 8am-8pm timeframe. Remember, no rules except nothing conventional.
Happy #UnhingedPit day, everyone! If it's past 8am in your time zone, then that means the pitch event is open and ready for your unhinged pitches! A reminder that the correct event tag is #UnhingedPit, NOT @UnhingedPit . Good luck and have fun!
Yes
