The broadcasters' contact persons that are already accredited on our online platform may login to upload their entries, starting from 8 April 2026.
If you don't remember your account details, you have troubles resetting your password or you don't have an account with us yet (aka a EPRIX number), please write us first.
Both programmes' submission and registration of jury members will be open until 8 June, 14:00 Rome/Central Europe time (UTC+2).
The 78th Prix Italia Festival will be held in L'Aquila from 28 September to 2 October.
The Prix Italia Competition is open to all broadcaster organisations, both private and public service (but not to online/OTT-only services). If your broadcaster has never competed in the Prix Italia before, you should write us first (see below).
The Competition is divided into three sections: for Radio & Podcast; for Television; for Digital projects. Each section is divided into three categories, as follows:
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, 2025 or scheduled for broadcast no later than 31 December 2027.
The Digital Competition is confirmed in the same format as last year, when we revamped the categories' outline. Here is a summary of recent changes, in case you didn't participate last year.
The "Innovation" category is more open 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).
The "Multimedia" category focuses on the trans-and-crossmedia productions, from the more common second-screen features to the most complex transmedia concepts.
The Factual category is the only "content-oriented", focusing on documentary-like productions, while also be open to works "potentially with elements of fiction" as docufiction and even some fictional works that are born out of research, analysis and a desire to describe reality.
Note that we will accept only "Digital First productions", that is, originally conceived for "the Web". Programmes originally intended for TV and then merely distributed online will not be accepted. Please refer to the Regulations for the full details.
In addition to the 9 categories listed above, 3 Special Prizes will be awarded:
You may submit a programme on our online platform, if you are already registered as a Contact Person for your broadcaster (i.e., you already have an EPRIX account). If you don't have an account yet, or you can't reset your password, or you need assistance, please contact prixitalia@rai.it.
The deadline for programme submission is 8 June, 2026 14:00 Rome/Central Europe time (UTC+2).
Please note: the competition is open to broadcasting organisation only (as opposite to online-only, OTT services), and to nationwide coverage organisations (as opposite to local stations). Furthermore, we do not accept direct submissions from independent producers and filmmakers: programmes must have been aired and submitted by a broadcaster. If you are unsure, feel free to ask us for clarifications in advance.
Please fill in this form (zipped doc or pdf) and send it to us by email first.
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).
To register a Juror, fill in our online form.
A juror can register autonomously, without the need for intervention by a Contact Person of the competing organisation. Note that you will have to upload a jpeg headshot and a short presentation of yourself (500 chars; you may also upload a full pdf presentation, if you like).
You will also need to indicate in which section of the competition (Radio & Podcast; TV; Digital) you intend to be a Juror. The exact Jury you will be placed on depends on our Jury rotation outline, so that we have a balanced composition each year.
Newly registered organisations may delegate their Jurors too. We will update the Jury outline to include the new entrants.
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".
