V International Chicldren’s Television Festival “Dytiatko” starts September 25
This was announced by Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the International Chicldren’s Television Festival “Dytiatko”, Chairman of Kharkiv Regional Council, Sergii Chernov, during press conference. The closing ceremony will take place on September 28.
Talking about the course of preparation of the festival being held with the aim of development of children’s television, raising professional level of television aiming at children’s audience, as well as at support to children’s creative studios, Sergii Chernov noted that the number of its participants grows every year.
In 2013, the Organizing Committee received applications from 103 participants who sent 276 works. Last year, 205 works from 84 participants took part in the contest program.
A majority of participants in this year’s festival are studios from Ukraine, there are 72 of them. Entries were also sent in from Russia, Byelorussia, Bulgaria, and Moldova.

14 experts from 6 countries are in professional jury this year

“This year, 14 experts from 6 countries – Ukraine, Russia, Byelorussia, Germany, Greece, and Bulgaria, compose the professional jury of the television children’s festival ‘Dytiatko’. Children and teenagers from Kharkiv Region will compose the children’s jury,” said chairman of the festival’s organizing committee, Chairman of the Regional Council, Sergii Chernov.
Sergii Chernov explained that for the first time in the festival’s history the children’s jury will be composed of children who do not take part in the competition: “For the first time, the children’s jury will be composed not of the festival’s participants. At the beginning of the summer, the festival’s organizing committee and ‘Slobidsky kray’ regional newspaper launched a contest for those who wished to become members of the children’s jury of the festival. The participants were proposed to express their vision of what the children’s TV of the future should be. After the summing up of results, members of the jury will decide the fate of the nomination ‘The Best TV Programme Created For Children’ and will also have the opportunity to select the best from all the nominations and hand the authors the Children’s Jury Award. So I hope that this jury will be very demanding and principled.”

Make YOUR Movie Contest on youpix.org!
Project Greenlight Reincarnated! Our winners make a MOVIE.
"In Hollywood a script has a One in a Million chance at being produced. That sucks!
At YouPix.org your script has a REAL chance at being made into a MOVIE! That does NOT suck!"
Dear Screenwriters and Filmmakers,
Let's face it. We all just want to make movies. Ever since we could remember. We were kids with movie cameras making goofy projects with our friends. And we were happy. Fulfilled. Well, now that we're "all grown up", that desire is still there, but how are we ever going to get the funding?! It almost takes a miracle.
My Partner and I have decided to keep that dream alive. For everyone who's had a script or short film place high in a contest, but was left with nothing but a trophy or some nominal prize money, we have your solution. WE MAKE MOVIES. That's what we all want, right?
Here's the skinny:
• Our team has worked on over 70 films collectively ranging from $250k - $80 million.
• We produce the winning feature script - you get a real movie made (up to $500K).
• Our other prizes include: Screenplay, Storyboarding, Budgeting and Scheduling Software; Educational Materials and Books; One-on-one screenplay consulting; Production Equipment.
• We also have an exclusive Development Database for feature scripts - one script upload is FREE.
Here are the important dates:
- Early Bird Submission fee $100 until Nov. 1, 2013
- Regular Submission fee $125 from Nov. 2 - Dec. 31, 2013
- Late Submission fee $150 from Jan. 1, 2014 - final deadline of Feb. 28, 2014
Whether or not you enter our YouWin contest, I invite you to upload one of your scripts or short films into our database for free. Our Development Executive roster is by invite only, and only active Producers are allowed to search our site. My partner and I have a combined 40 years of film production experience - we know how to get movies made. We are excited about our new paradigm for indie film incubation, and look forward to reading your scripts and watching your films.
Please visit our website at www.youpix.org and register for FREE to learn more.
Best of luck to you and your career!

YOUPIX.ORG - Not Another Screenplay Competition!
The Internet is full of articles/posts/blogs written by Industry Professionals with endorsement for the top ten or top five screenplay competitions – and it doesn’t take long before you start seeing the same Contests repeated again and again… That makes you feel good about those certain competitions, right? So, you submit your screenplay to some (or all) of those competitions with your fingers crossed… And you might place in the top 10% or better in some, if you’re lucky.
The fact is, in those Blue Chip contests, you are competing with thousands of other screenplays.
But if you are like us, been following screenplay competitions and have submitted to most of them and have won some, you can’t help it but to ask yourself the most important question: WHAT DO WRITERS ACUTALLY GET OUT OF THESE CONTESTS? Some of them have been around for over 25 years; they must have a convincing track record to stay in business, right? Here is from the FAQ of one of the biggest ones out there:
Q: How many Academy Nicholl Fellowship-winning scripts have been produced?
A: Of the 126 scripts that have earned their writers fellowships from 1986 to 2012, 16 have been produced…
Get it? In reality, ALL of the so called TOP screenplay competitions offer the same exact deal: Winners end up with a trophy or a variation of prize money, that’s about it. Very small percentage get to see their work produced and worse if you are an indie/low budget writer, your chances are almost nonexistent.
So what do you do if you are a writer/indie filmmaker like us? The honest truth is unless you have a rich family/investor that is willing to shell out hundreds of thousands of dollars so you can make your Film, there are no options, period. Oh yea, there are a bunch of websites that offer CROWD FUNDING, you can try that. Are you depressed yet?
Don’t be, we are all in the same boat and that’s why we have be working for a long time now to try to come up with a business model that will provide talented indie filmmakers a viable option to make movies. Years ago, PROJECT GREEN LIGHT offered new talents a platform to compete but it was short lived for obvious reasons, the business model didn’t work. The movies lost money. Unlike all of these different platforms that had good intentions in helping discover new talent, at YOUPIX.ORG, we have eliminated many mistakes to dramatically increase the odds of success for this new indie platform.
- Budget: Up to $500k.
- Less competition: You will never compete with more than 999 other contestants.
- Submission Fee: Multiple coverage and feedback on your work – great value considering the submission fee. Standard coverage fees in Hollywood is up to double our Submission Fee.
- Business model: Will allow us to continue to run the competition as long as contestants are willing to participate – True democratic filmmaking.
- Best of all: The winners actually get to make a feature length movie. A real movie. The others can keep their trophies.
The purpose of this blog is not to attack or trash other contests, not at all. The majority of them are run by decent people and for legitimate reasons. The point of this blog is to offer writers/indie filmmakers a different option to help them get to their ultimate goal – make movies. That’s why OUR best screenplay competition for indie FILMMAKERS is: YouPix.org…that’s right. Where WINNERS ACTUALLY MAKE A REAL MOVIE! If you like the sound of that join our exciting new community at www.youpix.org.
