CMC Wants Your Pitches by 13 June 2024

Children's Media Conference 9-10-11 July 2024 
The Children's Media Conference (CMC) in Sheffield wants your animation pitches.  

In the "Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is" pitch sessions, animation creatives pitch to the animation industry, much like on the BBC's "Dragon's Den".   The CMC takes place from 9-10-11 July 2024. The deadline for submissions is 13 June 2024. 

At the Children's Media Conference in Sheffield in July, Animation Dragons assemble at CMC to option the next big commercial kids property.

What Does CMC want?
Children's Media Conference is looking for "diverse TV and multi-media ideas to be pitched live in front of an esteemed panel of judges and investors - and the CMC audience". If you think you’ve got what it takes to create the next big hit then Children's Media Conference wants to hear from you.

All Ages and Formats
Children's Media Conference wants to see formats across all kids age ranges which display real commercial potential.

What Should a Pitch Include?
 Children's Media Conference is looking for pitches with "as many visuals as possible" and will "ideally include a video".

Business and Financials Too
Children's Media Conference also wants pitches to cover the key creative and commercial aspects of the proposition including, where possible, the financial aspects of your project.

Five Minutes
The live pitch should be no longer than 5 minutes.  Judges will then respond and - hopefully - bid for an option on your idea.  You must be able to sign an agreement which gives a winning judge a 3 month exclusive option to talk further about the idea. If your idea is already under option, you’ll be exempt. Children's Media Conference judges are under no obligation to bid on any of the ideas pitched to them.

Submission
To be in with a chance to take part in the session, submit your idea, which should be no longer than 1 sheet of A4 paper, to Jacqui admin@thechildrensmediaconference.com by Friday 13th June.

Deadline
The lucky chosen few will then be contacted by Wednesday 18th June. Good Luck!
