What is Pitch Vertical Series?

It is an international call for submissions for the presentation of vertical fiction series projects in development, created and designed for mobile consumption, at the international session “Pitch Vertical Series” 2026, at CONECTA Magaluf-Mallorca, which will take place from May 25 to 28, 2026, at different locations in the Balearic Islands (“CONECTA Magaluf-Mallorca”).

The deadline for submitting projects is March 3, 2026. You can check the call rules here. Remember that submissions must be made through the website; we will not accept any applications by email.

Who can participate in the call for entries?

Legal entities (production companies, distributors, television channels, etc.), not individuals, of any nationality, who have an idea for a vertical fiction series may participate in this call for entries.

Project eligibility requirements:

• Only vertical series (or micro-dramas) projects may be submitted. These must be fiction created and designed for mobile consumption and digital distribution via streaming, social media, or new platforms and apps, in 9:16 format, of any genre.
• Series projects must have a minimum of 50 and a maximum of 90 episodes per season, lasting between 1:30 and 2 minutes.
• The budget for each episode is not limited, but must be in line with the vertical production format: quick to shoot and with smaller budgets than a traditional series.
• Projects must be in the development phase. No pre-production or production activities may have been started.
• Projects must be designed for mobile devices; they cannot be existing series cut or adapted to the vertical format.
• Projects must be live-action. Animation and documentary projects will not be considered.

What does the Pitch Vertical Series call for proposals offer?

Three to five finalist projects will be selected to be presented at CONECTA Magaluf-Mallorca, which will take place from May 25 to 28, 2026, at different locations in the Balearic Islands.

If selected, you will have the opportunity to present your project in a face-to-face pitch session in front of an audience of executives and potential industry partners at CONECTA Magaluf-Mallorca.

CONECTA Magaluf-Mallorca will cover the accreditation and accommodation expenses for three nights, from May 25 to 28, 2026, for one representative from each selected project.

How are projects selected?

We will submit your project to the Pitch Vertical Series Editorial Committee (to be confirmed shortly), made up of a team of international professionals with different areas of expertise within the sector.

The jury will evaluate all the projects received and select from three to five finalists, based on criteria such as artistic quality, uniqueness of content, budget, and international potential, among others.

The finalists will be announced in April 2026.
