For years, the faculty has participated with great success in this activity that this year will have its most important moment in the Audiovisual Talent Week organized by the Audiovisual Cluster of Catalonia from November 25 to 29, 2024.

Previously, the faculty will make an internal selection of the best works that will represent us in this Talent Week, and that is why we encourage you to present your project in this 2024 edition. These are proposals to develop and not finished pieces, made by home students as TFG / TFM projects.

The projects can be delivered to the Dean until June 20 (included). They must be sent by email to: pitching.fcc'uab.cat
