MIPJUNIOR Pitch is now Open for Entries
This year, MIPJUNIOR brings together industry professionals, content creators, and young talents to explore the future of children's programming and entertainment.
Paris – MIPJUNIOR announced that the Call for Entries is
now open for the 2024 MIPJUNIOR PITCH, the popular annual competition which
gives an unrivalled opportunity to reach influential global, multi-platform
children’s commissioners, to be staged live at the forthcoming International
Kids Screenings & Co-Production Market (19-20 Oct 2024) in Cannes.
Providing invaluable
visibility to a jury of influential decision makers and attending international
buyers, last year’s MIPJUNIOR PITCH (targeting 6-12 yrs) attracted over 120
submissions from 35 countries before being won by The Adventures of Team Pom from
Canada’s Wind Sun Sky Entertainment following a live five-way pitch.
This year’s
competition focuses on the Preschool market (3-6 yrs) with entries encouraged
from development projects that demonstrate originality, universal appeal, and
high potential for brand extensions, licensing and merchandising amongst other
criteria (full list of here).
The world’s leading
entertainment industry event for Kids and Junior content will again be held at
the JW Marriot Cannes across the weekend preceding MIPCOM CANNES (21-24 October
2024) and is set to welcome up to 1000 delegates from over 60 countries - comprised
of the most influential buyers, commissioners, producers, development
executives, financiers and distributors from the global Kids TV industry. For
the second year, a Pre-Opening afternoon will be staged on Friday 18 October
from 14.00.
To be eligible,
projects must be original concepts in their first season, still seeking
financing in whole or part, not been pitched to date at a festival or market
and with worldwide rights still available. The final selection to be pitched
will be determined by a jury of international decision makers from the genre. The
deadline for submissions is 30 August 2024.
