The Audiovisual Pitching Event Returns Once Again to the Faculty of Communication Sciences for Talent Week

Before that, the Faculty will carry out an internal selection of the best projects that will represent us at Talent Week. Therefore, we encourage you to submit your project for this 2026 edition. These may be proposals still under development or projects intended to evolve further, created by students of the Faculty, whether coursework projects or Bachelor’s/Master’s Final Projects from the different degrees offered at the Centre.

Projects may be submitted to the Dean’s Office until June 21 (inclusive). They must be sent by email to: pitching.fcc@uab.cat. Late submissions will not be accepted.

The Faculty pitching requirements, aligned with those of the Audiovisual Cluster of Catalonia, are as follows:

Submitted initiatives must be undergraduate or master’s degree projects produced during the 2025/26 academic year. The professor endorsing the project must sign the cover page of the project summary (below their full name if it is not an electronic signature, so it can be easily identified).

Projects are divided into the following categories:

• FICTION: Feature films, short films, TV movies, series, web series, mini-series, animation.
• NON-FICTION: Documentaries, documentary series, webdocs.
• ENTERTAINMENT: Entertainment content for television and all types of platforms, including OTT platforms and social media: contests, podcasts, formats, etc.
