Jim Henson's Creature Shop Challenge tasks ten aspiring creature creators with bringing to life all sorts of theatrical creatures - and out-imagining each other in the process. Contestants will compete in challenges that highlight all phases of creature building, from conceptual design to sculpting and mechanization.

Each week judges will watch an on-set performance of the end result, with the eventual winner receiving a prize worth up to $100,000 including the opportunity for a contract working at the world-renowned Jim Henson's Creature Shop.

Brian Henson acts as the lead judge, and is joined by industry veterans Beth Hathaway and Kirk R. Thatcher. Gigi Edgley of Farscape hosts the show.
