Creative Europe MEDIA
Closed for now
MEDIA schemes are re-issued annually. Check the EACEA Funding & Tenders pages for each scheme's current deadline.
Multiple schemes with different ceilings: development of single projects and slates, TV and online content, video game and immersive content development, European co-production funds, distribution, innovative tools and business models, and MEDIA 360. Grants are typically lump sums; single project development grants have been in the EUR 25,000-60,000 range and slate funding higher.
You must co-fund 30%.

Deadline: annual_call — Each MEDIA scheme has its own annual deadline; the calendar is published in the annual Creative Europe work programme, with deadlines spread across the year.
This funder does not publish a success rate. We rank it using the rate observed across similar programmes and label it as an estimate rather than implying we know.
Quick — mostly identity and bank details.
You fund 30% yourself.
