CINEKID Junior Co-production market accepts feature film and serial productions in development from all over the world.

Submissions can be feature length film projects or TV/serial/episodic projects, and can either be fiction, documentary, animation, or live action as well as crossover projects for an audience of 3-14 years old.
Submitted projects need to have at least 10% of the financing in place (excluding own investments), and a confirmed production company in the country of origin.
A draft of the script must be available upon request.
For works-in-progress: (rough) material available should not be less than 8 minutes long and there should be a teaser from the film or TV production.

During the Junior Co-production Market 2025, three awards will be handed out:

The Eurimages Co-production Development Award of €20,000 for the best film project aimed for cinema release. This project must be designed as a European co-production between at least two member states of the Eurimages Fund for reasons other than purely financial.
The PUBLIKUM Audience Awareness Award (€9,000). All feature films and series selected for the Junior Co-production Market are eligible for this award. The money is paid in the form of services by the consultancy Will & Agency, who hands out the award. Publikum blends anthropology, data, and IT to analyse audience responses during the screenwriting process.
The Filmmore Post-Production Award of €5,000. This award is designed to stimulate collaboration with the Dutch Visual Effects & Post Production lab Filmmore. Designed for live-action projects, the award winner gets post-production support from the lab.
