Whether in a team or alone: in your 5-minute pitch, everything that the ZOOM platform has to offer is allowed. Do your thing and be creative. If our jury decides in your favour, you can win up to 10,000 euros in idea funding.

The pitch will be held in English. However, applications can be submitted in German or English. The deadline for the current application phase is 17.10.24 (16:00 CEST). Send your application and project description as a one-pager in PDF format to Janieke Bekasinski: bekasinski@moin-filmfoerderung.de

Then it's time to keep your fingers crossed: We will select five participants from all applications to pitch their project digitally on ZOOM or ‘live’ at the nextreality.festival in Hamburg on 14 November 2024.

Who can apply for the ‘XR Pitch Battle’? In short: anyone from Europe! However, the project must not be part of an apprenticeship or degree programme and must be at the idea stage (i.e. not yet developed or already started).

By the way: The XR Pitch Battle winner from 2022, Luis Avallos, presented his project ‘Queer Utopia’ at Venice Immersive last year. Find out more.
