Eligibility Requirements

So you've seen the show and now want to know how to become a part of SURVIVOR. Here is a breakdown of the selection process:

1. Written application forms will be sent to those applicants selected by Producers and due back four days from the time they are sent.
2. Semi-finalists (the number of which will be determined by Producers) will be invited to final interviews scheduled by the Producers with the SURVIVOR producers, which may be in person in Los Angeles or conducted remotely, in Producers' sole discretion. If travel to Los Angeles is required, roundtrip economy air travel between Los Angeles and your local airport in the United States and lodging will be provided by Producers.
3. Approximately 18 finalists for each cycle (the final number of which will be determined by Producers) will be selected as contestants to participate in each SURVIVOR program. Filming typically occurs sometime between March and early July (or as otherwise scheduled by Producers) at a remote location.
4. All decisions made by the Producers are final and not subject to review or appeal.

So now you're probably wondering what kind of person is eligible to be selected for this once in a lifetime opportunity. Here are the guidelines:

• Employees, officers, directors and agents of Paramount Global, CBS Broadcasting Inc., CBS Survivor Productions, Inc., MGM Television, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc., DJB Holdco, LLC, Survivor Productions, LLC, SEG Holdco, LLC, and/or of any of their respective licensees, assigns, parents, affiliated and subsidiary companies and the immediate family (spouse, mother, father, sister, brother, daughter or son, regardless of where they live) or members of their same households (whether related or not) of such employees, officers, directors and agents are not eligible to be contestants on SURVIVOR or participate in this application process.

• All American contestants must be 18 years or older at the time of application, except that if you reside in one of the five states listed below, you must be at least the following age:
•      Alabama: 19 years or older
•      District of Columbia: 21 years or older 
•      Mississippi: 21 years or older 
•      Nebraska: 19 years or older

• All Canadian contestants must be at least 18 years of age, except that if you reside in one of the provinces or territories listed below, you must be at least 19 years of age:
•      British Columbia New Brunswick Newfoundland Northwest Territories Nova Scotia Nunavut Yukon
• All contestants must be United States or Canadian citizens.
• All contestants must be in excellent physical and mental health.
• All applicants must authorize Producers to conduct a background check.
• All semi-finalists will be required to complete and timely return the Medical History Form (to be furnished to the selected applicants).
• All semi-finalists must undertake physical and psychological examinations and testing (to be conducted in Los Angeles or remotely, at Producers' discretion, by medical personnel selected by the Producers) and meet all physical and psychological requirements.

Beyond these basic qualifications and any additional qualifications set forth in the Contestant Application, we are looking for a diverse group of men and women who represent a broad cross-section of American society. Our competitors will be in excellent physical health. Building shelter and finding food will be much more taxing than a trip to your local hardware store or supermarket. Our competitors will also need to be in excellent mental health so that they will be able to cope with the extreme change in environment and the tension of the competition.

Contestants will be selected based upon having the following traits:

• Strong-willed
• Outgoing
• Adventurous
• Physically and mentally adept
• Adaptable to new environments
• Interesting lifestyles, backgrounds, and personalities

The prize for this competition is $1,000,000, but this prize money will not come easily. Our competitors must be willing to commit to traveling and living in a remote location for approximately seven weeks. Contestants will be filmed up to 24 hours a day by television camera crews to be broadcast on national television. This is reality television. They will actually be living in a remote location, and they will actually be responsible for building their own shelter and finding their own food.
