TV Series Competition was initiated in 2015 as a response to the rapid development of this type of production both on traditional television and on streaming platforms. The assumption is to present TV pilots and the first episodes of subsequent seasons with special visual values, as well as the selection and awarding of the authors of the best cinematography by an international jury. The pilot episodes of series or miniseries that were intended for the production of the series and the first episodes of subsequent seasons of series or miniseries are qualified for the selection process.
