The Pixel Market 2012 - Now open for entries!

THE PIXEL MARKET is Power to the Pixel’s renowned two-day finance market for cross-media projects, taking place on 17 & 18 October in London, at the centre of its 6th Cross-Media Forum (16 – 19 October) held in association with the 56th BFI London Film Festival.

Up to 30 international teams will be selected for the market, 8 of whom will progress to the next round – The Pixel Pitch Competition (17 October) - delivering 10-minute presentations to a jury of international experts who will award the prestigious £6,000 ARTE Pixel Pitch Prize!

This year also sees three brand new prizes: the beActive Pixel Market Comedy Prize (best comedy project), the Cinekid Pixel Market Prize (best project for children 4-14 years) and the Mozilla Pixel Market Prize (best web native, non-fiction project).

The Pixel Meetings on the second day of the Market (18 October), will offer bespoke 1-2-1 business meetings between the 30 project teams and over 100 potential investors - all executive-level international decision-makers from across the media industry spectrum - film, publishing, TV, interactive, online, mobile, advertising and games.

The Pixel Market is a truly unique gathering of both creative and business talent from around the world and a networking opportunity like no other. Don't miss this amazing opportunity to raise your project's profile on the international arena and, most importantly, get it financed!
