HGTV CASTING FOR "ID PROFESSIONALS"

Are you a talented, yet undiscovered interior design talent who is dying to have your own design television show? This is your chance. HGTV and High Noon entertainment are currently casting a new series and searching for an interior design industry innovator who has the personality and skill to host a television show. We are not casting for a competition series! If your design sensibility is fresh and unique, and you have the kind of fun, charismatic, easygoing and credible yet friendly persona that video cameras love, then please email us asap: you name, age, blurb about you, what you do, CURRENT picture, contact phone number and if possible photos of your work. You must be working either full time or part time as a designer and be passionate about your work. Please email: castingtvnow@gmail.com
