The projects must have at least 10% or more of the budget secured, with a minimum of 500.000 euros for series of less than 30 minutes per episode and 1.000.000 euros for those that exceed that length per episode.

In addition, it will be valued the project’s international potential which would include, for example, a clear international co-production potential, be backed by great talents such as screenwriters, directors, cast, showrunners, producers or be based on pre-existing works such as literary works, plays, podcasts, video games, among others. This pitching session will be limited to 5 finalist projects which must be in the development stage.
