Media Resources Management (Ukraine) together with Small World IFT (USA) starts a new search for innovative concepts for new non-scripted entertainment formats. The call for applications is open.

“We are thrilled and honored to be involved with the second annual Ukraine Format Competition organized by our fantastic friends MRM. Because there is so much talent in Ukraine, it was nearly impossible to shortlist five, much less the final one, the winner Stars in Cars. I wish we could have taken on more, which is why we are excited about doing this again with MRM, so bring ‘em on!” – Tim Crescenti, President of Small World IFT.

Small World. Big Ideas is opened to individuals and companies to present their new and original ideas of non-scripted entertainment formats. The submitted concepts can be at any development stage: starting from paper format and on out to the program that has already been broadcast or commissioned (in this case worldwide format rights availability is a must). Applications are accepted till March 18, 2016. The judging panel will define 5 finalists, who will present their projects at the final round, which will be held on April 19, 2016 in the course of FORMAT SHOW Spring Edition.

Small World IFT will become exclusive worldwide distributor, adding the winning format to Small World IFT slate and presenting it at all major television markets globally. Also the company provides international development expertise in adapting the winning format for the global market and funds the production of a promo. The winning idea will see the world as a format at MIPCOM 2016.

Furthermore, MIPCOM – International Partner of FORMAT SHOW Spring Edition – awards the winner with participant badge of the world's entertainment content market MIPCOM 2016 (October 17-20, Cannes, France).
