Northern Ireland - Youth Content Development Scheme - Factual Entertainment

成人快手 Three and 成人快手 Northern Ireland have partnered with Northern Ireland Screen to champion local companies who want to develop young, creative and innovative formats that can entertain the whole of the UK.

This partnership is focused on enhancing the quality and volume of production supply and developing a talent pipeline for both 成人快手 Three and 成人快手 NI.

Once again, we are inviting independent production companies based in Northern Ireland to submit Factual Entertainment ideas that reflect the life experiences of 16-24 year olds.

A key requirement is for ideas to be formatted, with closed episodes. Storytelling needs to be clear, compelling and immersed in the world of young UK audiences.

Topics like food, life improvement and transformation are still of interest. However, at the moment, we are not looking for competition formats nor concepts that cover topics like DIY, dancing, dating, farming or renting.

Following completion of the selection process outlined below, one Indie will be commissioned to produce a Factual Entertainment series for 成人快手 Three and 成人快手 NI.

Selection process

If you are interested in being considered, please email 成人快手ThreeNIapplications@bbc.co.uk, with a short summary (no more than 500 words) outlining your idea (top level details only at this stage), relevant previous work, links to your website, contact details and availability - see dates below.

Previous experience in delivering Factual Entertainment content is required.

Expressions of interest will be accepted from the 26th of May till the 26th of June 2020. The 成人快手 Three and the 成人快手 NI team will then shortlist up to eight Indies to share further details of their ideas via 成人快手 Pitch, prior to entering into a period of paid development and project scoping.

Successful submissions will be notified before the 10th of July 2020 and invited to pitch in front of a team of 成人快手 NI and 成人快手 Three commissioners in September 2020.

After the pitching session, two Indies will be shortlisted to receive further funding to produce a broadcast quality pilot of their idea.

The 成人快手 NI and 成人快手 Three teams will then choose one of the pilots to take through to a 4x30min (estimate) series for the network, to be featured on 成人快手 iPlayer. The pilot will count as one episode of the series. All commissions will be subject to programme finance committee sign-off before being green lit.

Note dates may be subject to change.

We will use the following selection criteria throughout stages:

• Fit to Factual Entertainment genre - Light, accessible and engaging formats that reflect the world of Gen Z.
• Fit to a 16-24 audience 鈥� Talent and contributors should be young; treatment and visual style should feel authentic and in line with the world of content this audience consumes.
• Fit to 成人快手 Three brand.
• Creative distinctiveness 鈥� Distinctive from 成人快手鈥檚 portfolio, and the rest of the market.
• Returnable series format - Narrative should lend itself to more than one season.
• Digital first format 鈥� Should fit a digital narrative with attention to imagery/thumbnails and production of extra assets for social distribution.
• Execution (towards later stages) - Originality and authenticity of the execution should demonstrate fit to the audience.

成人快手 Gaeilge / ILBF Development Funding Round

In light of the current production constraints because of Covid-19 the ILBF in conjunction with 成人快手 Gaeilge, TG4 and RT脡 is seeking applications from Irish language production companies for projects that can be developed in both the short and long term.

Companies can apply for development funding for one project or for a slate of projects that can be safely researched and developed at this time. We welcome projects that can be developed ahead of the next ILBF funding deadline in September, and for future rounds. Both new projects and previously commissioned returnable series will be considered.

Factual and factually entertaining content would be welcomed and producers should also consider developing content that can be delivered should the current production constraints continue, for example content that is archive driven; contributors that can be recorded using different technologies etc. Applications for repackaging of previously commissioned content would also be considered in this round.

Whilst we expect that the broadcasters would be attached to the majority of the applications, we would also support digital development applications where there is no broadcaster attached.

Deadline for applications for 成人快手 Gaeilge on 成人快手 Pitch is Monday, 6th April 2020 at 5pm.

Deadline for applications through the ILBF Flexigrant system is Friday, 10th April 2020.

Producers who intend to apply should discuss the projects in advance with the broadcasters and with the ILBF and where broadcasters are attached a letter of support must be submitted as part of the application process.

Please also note that all successful applications in the most recent ILBF funding round, currently under assessment, will be contracted expediently to ensure cashflow for companies.

Commissioning Brief: March 2020

成人快手 Northern Ireland is now seeking ideas for programmes which can be plausibly and safely developed, or produced, in the context of the emergency measures necessitated by the Coronavirus.

We anticipate two types of proposals:

1. Work that can be commissioned, contracted and started, in a social distancing or lock-down environment, but delivered at a point in the future, when the emergency measures are lifted, (eg, development phases on new proposals, or initial work of value, on previously commissioned, returnable series), and;
2. Work that can be started now, but can be completed, delivered and transmitted during a lock-down (eg, archive-driven shows, innovative ideas for programming that can plausibly and safely be made and delivered by teams that are geographically separated, but digitally connected).

Public safety is our primary concern, and we will err on the side of caution in assessing proposals. But we are also mindful of the strong audience need for content which can augment News output, and we want to do what we can, to help protect the health of our content suppliers. During this period, we will be adapting our opt-out schedules on TV & iPlayer in a strategic manner, to respond to these emerging audience needs.

We appreciate the challenges that the sector is facing, and what a worrying time this is, and we want to play a proactive role in helping you manage these challenges. Our starting point is to bring additional flexibility to our normal business practices and procedures - and this round should be seen in this context. It is a normal round, conducted via standard practices and procedures, which have been adapted to work within the unique context of the Coronavirus.

In editorial terms, this will mean that ideas for transmission during the emergency should focus on programmes which can entertain audiences, providing laughter, positivity, escapism, companionship, shared local experiences, warm nostalgia, and a sense of connection to the outside world. And alongside this need for programmes which provide distraction from the Coronavirus, we are also open to ideas which seek to chart this crisis in a safe way.

We are interested in proposals that can serve all audiences, but we are conscious that the social distancing measures will pose particular challenges for older audiences and families who are self-isolating - so proposals that work for these audiences will be of interest. Again, alongside playful and distracting content, we also want to provide viewers with some practical/educational material.

We can be quite flexible on genre, and we will consider any proposal that sits within these broad parameters, and which (crucially) can plausibly, and safely, deliver for transmission during the emergency phase.

Process and assessment

We can adapt our practices to respond to the challenges, for example, we may hold pitches via Skype/Zoom. In addition, we will endeavour to make these decisions, and move to contract, as quickly as possible. But, as with any normal round, this will be quite a competitive, rigorous process.

All ideas and proposals should be submitted via by Friday 3rd April 2020 at 5pm.

Eddie Doyle, Head of Commissioning 成人快手 Northern Ireland, and the Commissioning Executives are available to offer editorial guidance and answer queries, prior to submission on the phone or via Zoom/Skype. We can outline both the short term editorial priorities for content transmitting during the emergency, and also the longer term strategy, for content transmitting when the emergency measures have been lifted.

To set up a time to chat, or for any other technical query, contact Linda McCarter (linda.mccarter@bbc.co.uk).

Deadline: All ideas and proposals should be submitted via  by Friday, 03rd April 2020 at 1700.

成人快手 Rewind Commissioning Brief January 2020

成人快手 Rewind is currently developing an archive portal that will allow the public to search thousands of items of video archive reflecting life and events in Northern Ireland since 1952. This exciting and innovative project will open up 成人快手 Northern Ireland archives in ways previously not possible, enabling audiences to access, browse and enjoy this important slice of shared social history. As part of this project, the Rewind team seek to commission a suite of short-form film content, showcasing gems of newly discovered archive from across the decades.

Submit no more than two A4 pages outlining your pitch to rewind@bbc.co.uk.

Deadline for applications is 10am on Friday, February 14th 2020. 

成人快手 Gaeilge Television Commissioning Brief January 2020

The 成人快手 Gaeilge Television Commissioning Strategy aims to build a varied portfolio of ambitious, relevant and high-impact programming with high production values. At the heart of our commissioning strategy is the audience, a diverse group with a wide range of interests and levels of ability in the language. Many non-Irish speakers also enjoy subtitled Irish language television content.
