MIPFORMATS Pitch
The MIPFORMATS Pitch is a prestigious pitching competition dedicated to discovering groundbreaking ideas for fresh, non-scripted entertainment formats that have yet to find a place on linear or non-linear platforms.
Designed for creators and producers worldwide, this event offers a unique chance for unparalleled exposure in front of a discerning panel of industry leaders. Sponsored by ZDF Studios for the 2024 edition, it promises an exciting platform to showcase innovation and talent in the formats industry.
Ralf Rückauer, Vice President Unscripted at ZDF Studios, said: "All popular shows that are known to a large, global audience are based on a simple but clever idea. And that is not easy to come up with. Together with RX France, we are looking forward to finding the next big hit. It will be exciting to discover fresh ideas and to honour the winner at the awards ceremony in Cannes.”

MIPFORMATS Pitch Winner
Title: The Stupid House
Company: Chulapo Pictures
Country: United Kingdom
Genre: Reality Show
Target Audience: All
Logline: We've seen many formats to find the brightest minds, but now we're flipping things on their head. In The Stupid House, celebs play dumb to avoid elimination— because kicking out the smartest ones means more jackpot cash. And the last one standing donates the final sum to their chosen charity.

25
Company: LGH Entertainment
Country: Norway
Genre: Factual Entertainment

Logline: Our physical and cognitive abilities are assumed to be at their best the year we turn 25. But does this really hold true? In the competition "25," twenty-five men and women or one gender in the age range of 18-60 come together with only one goal in mind: To challenge their bodies against the average 25-year-old.
A.I. Of The Beholder
Company: David Tobiasz
Country: Canada
Genre: Factual - Reality
Target Audience: All
Logline: Real people seeking change let a custom AI bot named “Pandora” make all their life decisions for them for 30 days—no matter how wild, risqué or far outside their comfort zones it takes them. Think Super Size Me, except instead of eating fast food for a month, we watch what happens when every aspect of a person’s life and fate is determined by AI.
