The Prix Italia Competition is open to all broadcaster organisations, both private and public service.
The Competition is divided into three sections: for Radio & Podcast; for Television; for Digital projects. Each section is divided into three categories, as follows:
(*new! See below for details)
Each competing organisation may submit a maximum of one programme for each of the nine categories listed above.
Programmes must have been released no earlier than January 1, 2024 or scheduled for broadcast no later than 31 December 2026.
After a discussion with our participants and juries, we have revamped the Digital Competition this year. For those who have participated in recent years, here is a summary of what's new.
In place of the old "Interactive" category, we introduced a new "Innovation" category, broadening the scope, opening it up more to the bleeding edge of technology: focusing, in particular, on user participation and interaction (how you can leverage new technologies to engage and interact with your public).
Then, we added a "Multimedia" category: our aim is to focus on the trans-and-crossmedia productions again: we already had a similar category in the past, but we believe that the range of these productions has meanwhile increased and changed (from the more common second-screen features to the most complex transmedia concepts).
Finally we confirm the Factual category as the only "content-oriented" left. However, we realize that keeping strong roots in reality today doesn't necessarily mean just "making a documentary". Sometimes we also learn a lot about reality from other kinds of productions, which are technically not documentaries. That is why we have also opened the category to works "potentially with elements of fiction": this also fits with docufiction, and even some fictional works that are born out of research, analysis and a desire to describe reality.
Lastly, we introduced into the regulations the wording "Digital First productions" by which we intend to better specify that these productions must be originally conceived for "the Web". Programmes originally intended for TV and then merely distributed online will not be accepted any more.
In addition to the 9 categories listed above, a Global South Award is established in collaboration between Prix Italia, Copeam and Urti, and dedicated to broadcasters and productions from countries of the so-called Global South.
It is possible to submit one TV Documentary to this Award - either already entered in the regular category of the competition, - or a different programme that is not already in competition.
Consult the Special Prize Regulations to learn more. For other context info, see also the press release.
Finally, the Special Prize in Honour of the President of the Italian Republic, the Signis Special Prize and the 2025 Ylab Award are confirmed, and will be awarded among the programmes submitted to the 2025 Prix Italia.
The Juries of the Prix Italia competition are made up of delegates from the competing organisations. Each competitor may delegate one Juror for each of the 3 main sections of the competition (Radio & Podcast; TV; Digital).
The Special Prizes' Juries are composed of experts selected by the Prix Italia.
Make sure to read carefully our Regulations (Art. 10) to learn about the Juries' proceedings. Also, note that our General Regulations (art. 4.5) states that "if Jurors are somewhat involved in the production of a programme, they cannot be part of the Jury that is asked to vote on it".
