The European Space Agency (ESA) invites screenwriters to submit proposals for short films about European space exploration. So if you have an idea for e.g. an animation film set on the moons of Mars, a documentary about the ExoMars rover or a coming-of-age film about a Martian girl who travels back to Earth to discover her roots, then submit your idea!

3 categories

The competition is split into 3 categories: animation, documentary and fiction. Applicants can only submit in 1 category.

Awards

12 finalists (4 in each of the 3 categories) will each receive access to ESA experts and €5,000 development aid. The 3 final winners (1 in each of the 3 categories) will receive production aid.
