The Content London Drama Series and Global Entertainment Format pitches have opened for 2024 entries. The pitch competitions are cornerstones of Content London, both offering a £30,000 C21 marketing prize for the winner, with all finalists promoted to C21’s community of 200,000 monthly uniques.
The Content London Drama Series Pitch is open to new digital-first and linear scripted drama and comedy-drama series from established content companies looking for international finance to close the gap. Meanwhile, the Global Entertainment Format Pitch is designed to discover and develop a new international hit format in one of three categories: Primetime Entertainment, Reality & Social Experiment or Studio-based Gameshows.
From the pool of submissions received, a shortlist of the top 21 projects will be selected and up to eight finalists will be chosen for each competition to pitch live at Content London 2024. All selected pitch finalists will be profiled by C21 during the event and interviews about the projects will be published online and in the Content London Dailies. They will also be invited to a networking event during Content London to meet with interested parties.
The winning pitches will be announced at Content London 2024 and will each receive a marketing package through C21Media worth £30,000 to support development and pre-sales promotion of the show. The deadline to enter is October 17, 2024. Successful submissions will be notified if they have been selected to pitch on November 1, 2024.
