The Federal competition of creative producers has started in Russia

Moscow has announced the launch of a federal competition for creative producers organized by ANO Creative Economy. Its goal is to form a new understanding of the producer's role in creating and promoting creative products, identify talents in this field, and create a professional community that promotes the development of the country's creative economy.

Russia's creative economy is one of the fastest growing sectors. One of the central figures in this segment is the producer. The understanding of his role is blurred among a wide audience, but thanks to such initiatives, industry representatives are helping to reveal it.

"Most often, the word "production" meant the promotion of media products, films or music," Marina Mongush, President of the ANO Creative Economy, director of the Russian Creative Week forum, opened the press conference. – However, today we see that production is necessary in all areas: urbanism, architecture, the book industry, gastronomy, IT. For example, a literary editor today is a book producer who must look at the product in 360–degree format. And we want people who also understand the word "producing", who have managerial skills and skills of outside-the-box thinking, to manifest themselves through our competition and in the future be able to create a new economic effect for the regions from creative products, making them competitive."

The competition takes place in several stages:

- Acceptance of the contest participants' projects: from March 17, 2025 to June 5, 2025.

- The first stage of project selection: from June 6 to June 18, 2025.

- Formation of the list of finalists of the competition: June 19, 2025.

- The second stage of the selection (jury voting): from June 20 to June 26, 2025.

- Formation of the list of winners of the competition: June 27, 2025.

- Award ceremony for the winners of the competition: July 4, 2025 within the framework of the "Russian Creative Week".

Absolutely any project can be submitted to the jury, even at the very first stages of its development. The main condition is the commercial potential of the product, aimed at the development of the industry as a whole or its scaling.

You can apply now on the official website of the contest.

For the organizers of the Federal Creative Producers Competition, one of the key tasks is also to create a professional community that will allow its participants to grow, develop and continuously study.

The participants and winners of the competition will have a unique opportunity to develop their projects through acceleration programs, find mentoring support from industry leaders, meet investors for their creative products, and launch joint projects in the partner ecosystem.
