The free-to-air children&#8217;s channel is not currently looking to commission animated series. The greenlit series will likely transmit on CITV in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>For the scripted series, submissions should ideally include a pilot script, but character bios, series outlines and any other pre-production assets would be accepted. For the game show\/challenge show and \u201cmake and do\u201d\/craft ideas, a full treatment with format beats, an episode running order and casting suggestions are desired. Producers looking to submit projects for consideration can do so via email to citv.yacf@itv.com. The deadline for submissions is August 30.<\/p>\n<p>Paul Mortimer, ITV\u2019s director of digital channels, said: &#8220;CITV is thrilled to support the Young Audiences Content Fund and to be working in tandem with the BFI on an initiative that will deliver more high-quality, U.K.-produced kids&#8217; television than could be achieved without it. We look forward to taking receipt of ideas that will enlighten and entertain our core audience of 6- to 12-year-olds.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CITV has partnered with the Young Audiences Content Fund (YACF) and will be working with the British Film Institute (BFI) to support kids\u2019 content from U.K.-based producers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":16656,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[4100,297,4102],"class_list":["post-16655","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-british-film-institute","tag-citv","tag-young-audiences-content-fund","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>CITV Commits Support to Young Audiences Content Fund - TVKIDS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/citv-commits-support-to-young-audiences-content-fund\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"CITV Commits Support to Young Audiences Content Fund - TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"CITV has partnered with the Young Audiences Content Fund (YACF) and will be working with the British Film Institute (BFI) to support kids\u2019 content from U.K.-based producers.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/citv-commits-support-to-young-audiences-content-fund\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-06-28T13:49:29+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2019-06-28T14:22:12+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/07\/citv_logo_2015-619.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"500\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"374\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/citv-commits-support-to-young-audiences-content-fund\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/citv-commits-support-to-young-audiences-content-fund\/\",\"name\":\"CITV Commits Support to Young Audiences Content Fund - TVKIDS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-06-28T13:49:29+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-06-28T14:22:12+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/citv-commits-support-to-young-audiences-content-fund\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/citv-commits-support-to-young-audiences-content-fund\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/citv-commits-support-to-young-audiences-content-fund\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"CITV Commits Support to Young Audiences Content Fund\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\",\"name\":\"TVKIDS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
