Montreal – Apartment 11 Productions is pleased to announce that its series In Real Life has been nominated for a 2011 Gemini Award in the category Best Children’s or Youth Non-Fiction Program or Series.

In the exciting reality series, In Real Life, eighteen kids – aged 12 to 14 – race across North America and compete in a series of thrilling real-life tasks to discover the skills, strength, and stamina it takes to make it in the real world! Part heart-pounding race, part intense skill competition, each contestant must avoid elimination by winning a variety of hands-on challenges that range from the ultra glamorous to the ultra disgusting to the ultra dare-devil. From super-fast NASCAR racing and outrageous Hollywood stunts, to learning to be sheep ranchers or world class chefs, comedian Sabrina Jalees leads the kids through each mind-blowing challenge. The ultimate goal? College tuition money plus an all expense paid family vacation.

Season 3 of IN REAL LIFE premieres on YTV in October.
