Eurovision Creative Forum 2015

The Eurovision Creative Forum showcases the most innovative and engaging programme formats from public service content (PSM) from Europe and beyond.

All genres

From pure entertainment to factual, from religion to education, from show to documentary, all genres can be part of the selection. It is also an opportunity to meet the creators and producers to learn more about the formats and share experiences in a friendly atmosphere.

The Forum was launched in 2006 as an opportunity for Members  to screen and showcase innovative and recent programme formats; to pool their creative potential and establish an international PSM format network,” Eurovision Head of TV Bettina Brinkmann says. “Since then, the event has increased in popularity and we are now seeking to replicate the format’s success. The creation of new categories highlights the importance winning formats play in creating balanced programming.”

The Forum is also open to PSM outside Europe, including Asia, Canada and the USA and is organized by the EBU in cooperation with ZDF, Germany, with the support of the Eurovision Formats Core Group.
