In order to help students, who are currently taking summer session exams, the organisers of the Prix have decided to extend the participation deadline to August 5, 2019 for the 300-word video synopsis (English or Italian) including credits (editing, shooting, subject, music, etc.), rights waivers and photocopy of an ID. The submission via wetransfer of the definitive clip has been extended to September 2, 2019.

Nonetheless, in order to verify the quality of Sapienza products, avoiding last minute modifications and to allow the selection of videos by the Sapienza Scientific Committee, we are asking interested parties to also send the video by August 5 (either in draft or definitive version) so that participants may enjoy recommendations by the coordination team. Please send your videos to: prixitalia.sapienza@uniroma1.it , ylab.prixitalia@rai.it.

For further information, please contact the Rai/Prix Italia Organiser, Antonella Gaetani, (antonella.gaetani@rai.it) or the Sapienza Coordinator Mihaela Gavrila (mihaela.gavrila@uniroma1.it).

The videos will be uploaded to the Prix Italia portal and the international guests of the 71^stedition of the Prix Italia, the longest standing contest for broadcasters from around the world and organised by RAI-RADIO TELEVISIONE ITALIANA. Sapienza students are invited to develop videos or radio promos (90-seconds) to “illuminate” Rome for international broadcasters. The objective is to develop short products that will originally portray the City of Rome and the Lazio Region’s cultural and artistic beauties.

This is a precious opportunity for personal and professional growth. The selected projects will be uploaded to the Prix Italia portal (www.prixitalia.rai.it/) and distributed at workshops and conferences with international experts that will be held in Rome on September 23-28, 2019.
