The competition is open to scripted projects at both early and advanced stages of development that are still seeking financing and international partners. Five finalist projects will be selected to pitch live during MIP CANCUN 2026 on Thursday, 19 November, at the Moon Palace Resort in Cancún, Mexico.
“As MIP CANCUN continues to strengthen its position as the leading hub for IP development, funding and monetization in Latin America, launching the Scripted Pitch was the natural next step,” said Maria Perez Bellière, Director of MIP CANCUN.
“Our ambition is to identify stories with genuine international potential and connect their creators with the executives who can help bring them to audiences around the world. The Scripted Pitch reinforces MIP CANCUN’s commitment to supporting premium IP from its earliest stages of development, creating new opportunities for international co-production, financing and market access.”
An International Jury of Industry Leaders
The five finalist projects will be evaluated by an international jury composed of renowned commissioning, production and content development executives whose expertise spans some of the world’s leading media and entertainment companies. The full jury will be announced in the coming weeks.
