Content Warsaw CoPro Pitch
The Content Warsaw CoPro Pitch is open for entries, offering a US$15,000 C21Media marketing prize each to two winners, one scripted and one unscripted. Shortlisted projects will showcase live to the international coproduction community at Content Warsaw in June 2024.
The competition is open to early stage scripted and unscripted projects (scripted series and feature length docs) from established producers from Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), looking for wider partnerships across the region or internationally. This competition is geared towards projects which are looking for further international partnerships, which already have some partners attached and can demonstrate the financial commitment that comes with those partnerships.
The Content Warsaw CoPro Pitch 2024 will bring C21’s tried-and-tested pitch format to CEE, awarding two winners (unscripted and scripted) each with a prize of US$15,000 worth of marketing across C21Media’s digital, print and event products to support development and pre-sales promotion of the show.
Creators will present their projects live at Content Warsaw 3-6th June, and a specially selected panel of leading buyers and commissioners are tasked to choose their favourite. The judges will be looking for audience appeal, how well the projects have been developed and planned, the potential for international travel and the strength of the team behind it.
The competition is open to established producers from Central Eastern Europe looking for international coproduction partnerships.
