Budget:To a maximum of €150,000
Duration:40 to 52 minutes
TX:Autumn 2018
RTE Junior is looking for ideas for a highlight event which would offer a live (or as-live) event-based show; an event around which buzz and profile can be created, an event which would offer an appointment to view for families with young children and an event which would create news and media interest on the day. Children will be at the centre of this event. A successful proposal will capture the excitement of live event, will have elements to draw press interest, will put children on a pedestal for the day, will bring a sense of pride in their achievement to all watching – young and old.

CROSS-PLATFORM, PRO-SOCIAL CAMPAIGN FOR RTÉjr

Budget:Up to a maximum of €75,000
Closing Date:Friday 14th July 2017 at 12 Noon (Strict Deadline)
RTE Junior is looking now to increase awareness of RTÉjr and of issues that remain close to its heart. To this end, they wish to commission a standalone, cross-platform campaign for Spring 2018 to comprise a segment or number of segments for RTÉjr television, all built around a unifying theme that should deal withpro-social issues of interest and value for those aged 7 and under. The configuration/duration of the pieces is flexible, however. These TV pieces should be suitable for use also on RTÉjr Radio and/or RTÉjr Online, which may feature in a callout or other public information about the campaign. Asuccessful campaign would have potential to run across RTÉjr TV, Radio and Online (RTÉjr app, RTÉ Player and social media) over a single day/series of days, weekend, week or fortnight.
