The Competition

Who Can Apply?

Anyone with a great, original idea can make a submission. You can be a production company or an individual, a TV pro or a novice in a completely different field – as long as you have a bold idea, we're happy to hear it!

Competition

Formagination 12 will take place on February 5th, 2025, at the InterContinental Miami. Submissions are now closed, but stay tuned for news about our finalists

What Do You Need to Submit?

That's easy!

To take part, all you need to do is to submit a detailed pitch of an original idea.
It could be a video, a presentation or a PDF document, which should include a description of your idea and what makes it unique.

Please Note:

We should stress that your idea should be the fruit of your own creation and not the product of any generative AI module.

What Kind of Ideas Are We Looking For?

Original ideas that stand out from the crowd and use new methods and mechanisms to tell well-tested stories. A new way of judging maybe? Or a new twist on adventure formats? Either way, it should be structured, smart, fun, entertaining, buzz-worthy and on trend.

More Specifically?

  • Genre - non-scripted.

  • Target Audience – 18+ (no children's formats, please!).

  • Innovation – yes, please! We're looking for fresh and creative ideas that drwas attention. Your idea should include distinct format points and elements that make up the DNA of your concept and make it unique. From a central piece on the set to a clever game mechanism to a new way of judging or a new way to tell us a story – tell us something we haven't heard before! Make sure to highlight what sets your format apart from others.

  • Repeatability and adaptability – are a must. A truly successful format can sustain multiple seasons across different countries. Can your idea have a second season in different territories?

  • Second screen and audience engagement – are definitely worth thinking about.

  • Potential for branded content or sponsorship – can add to the appeal but should not be the center of the idea.
     

Please Note: These all will be considered while judging an idea, but even an idea that doesn't tick all these boxes can still become a finalist.
