New development awards for the Audiovisual Pitching projects

The University-Industry Audiovisual Pitching is one of the most relevant events within the Audiovisual Talent Week, which this year is held from November 14th to 18th at CaixaForum Barcelona.

As a novelty for this 8th edition, the production houses and companies in the sector will decide which project in each category will receive the Development Award, with a financial endowment of €2,000 and professional mentorship, aiming to make the projects’ completion more viable.

For the first time, the international fiction category is added in, joining the categories of fiction, non-fiction, television formats, video games and new formats. All participating projects have been conceived and developed by young professionals. Throughout the previous editions, over 180 projects have been presented, 40% of which have been produced or are in production.
