Open calls coming up for Shark Tank.
Step into the spotlight and present your business/product/idea during our Open Call, where you’ll have the chance to deliver a captivating 1-minute pitch to a member of our Casting Team, just like you would on the show.
Got a product or business in serious need of funding and some marketing help? If so, the sharks on the ABC reality investment series Shark Tank would love to hear all about it and if your gig is as good as you think it is, they may invest the funds you need to get your business to the next level.
Come prepared to impress and amaze with your vision. This is an open cattle call, meaning there will be lots of people doing exactly the same thing and the show’s casting team will be handing out wristbands for the first few hours to those waiting. If you arrive late, you may not be able to get a wristband as only those with wristbands will get a chance to audition.
All Open Calls are open to the public. To participate in an Open Call, ensure you have a completed Short Application which you can see here.
Looking for more reality show tryouts? See our reality TV page.
Simply arrive during the designated “Wristbands Distributed” timeframe to receive your wristband and the opportunity to pitch. The venues the open call will be held at do not want people coming too early and are not allowing anyone to come the night before or camp out overnight in line.
Please be aware that there may be a lengthy wait before your interview, and we may conduct interviews well into the evening. As long as you got there in time to get a wristband, you will be able to audition for the show and pitch your gig.
For those that cant make it to any of the open calls, Shark Tank may also be taking online auditions and video auditions as they normally do. Their online auditions page for season 16 may be found here.
Looking for more auditions you can do via video and online?
