How to Apply to Be a Participant on Opportunity Knocks

Becky Fuentes
ABC recently premiered a fun, new family game show called Opportunity Knocks that's sure to be a hit with both adults and kids around the country. Opportunity Knocks is a trivia game show where the whole family plays together to try to win some awesome prizes and cash by answering questions about their own family. The best part about Opportunity Knocks is that you it's a show that the whole family can watch because between the entertaining host, JD Roth, the roving set, prizes like Jonas Brothers VIP concert packages, new furniture and even cars, there really is something for everyone.

So do you think your family has what it takes to be contestants on an upcoming episode of Opportunity Knocks? Here's everything you need to know about applying for the show and how to really make your application pop to the casting department.

WHERE TO SUBMIT YOUR APPLICATION FOR OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS

The application process for Opportunity Knocks is fairly easy. In fact, the only thing standing between you and your chance to win up to $250,000 is one quick email. You want to make sure that your family fits the qualifications that Opportunity Knocks producers are looking for - you should be a family with kids ages 7-12. If that describes your family, then have an adult family member send the casting email to familygameshowcasting@gmail.com.

WHAT TO INCLUDE IN YOUR APPLICATION EMAIL FOR OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS

In the subject line of your application email you want to write your city and state. This helps the casting department sort emails as they cast families for various cities around the country.

Your application email should include the following details:

Your family's name and contact information

Recent family photo

Recent photo of your home

Short family bio including your family's names, ages, occupations and grades

Reason why you think your family would be fun, exciting contestants on Opportunity Knocks

HOW TO MAKE YOUR OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS APPLICATION STAND OUT

The casting department for Opportunity Knocks will be inundated with emails from families all around the country, so you really want to highlight anything and everything that makes your family special. Include funny stories or details that will make the casting department remember you when they read your application. Make your family and home photos bright and original. And finally, be creative when telling why your family should be chosen for the show.

Good luck!
