WEST CHESTER, Pa., May 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Are you an entrepreneur with a great product and a compelling story to tell? Do you have what it takes to bring your product to life via video-rich shopping experiences across digital, broadcast, and social platforms? QVC and HSN today announced the launch of The Big Find, a nationwide search to discover the next big brand or unique product in beauty, fashion, accessories and jewelry. Beginning June 13, entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to submit their product and share their story via video entry.

QVC and HSN have launched and fostered the growth of some of the most successful entrepreneurial brands like IT Cosmetics, philosophy, bareMinerals, Spanx and Diane Gilman. As the pioneers of video storytelling, QVC and HSN offer vendors the platforms and tools to build relationships with an engaged community of digitally savvy shoppers.

"The Big Find is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for entrepreneurs to share their stories with an audience of millions across our QVC and HSN platforms," said Mary Campbell, Chief Merchandising Officer, Qurate Retail Group, and Chief Commerce Officer, QVC US. "We're looking for entrepreneurs who are passionate about their products, have great stories to tell, and are engaging storytellers. This initiative is part of our ongoing commitment to bring our customers more discoveries while increasing our product differentiation."

Submissions for beauty, fashion, accessories, or jewelry products are open from June 13 to July 12. A panel of QVC and HSN merchandising experts will review all applications. In August, select candidates will be invited to pitch their product in person at events in West Chester, Pa., St. Petersburg, Fla., New York, and Seattle. The final entrepreneurs selected by the judging panel will premiere their products on QVC or HSN in Q4 2019 and throughout 2020.
