Fresh Categories Unveiled for NEM Awards 2025

The annual NEM (New European Market) event is set to return in 2025, with two exciting editions scheduled in Croatia. The NEM Dubrovnik will take place at the Dubrovnik Palace Hotel from June 8 to June 11, 2025, while the NEM Awards will be held in Zagreb, Croatia in December 2025.

NEM Dubrovnik, a well-established TV market, has been running for over 10 years. The event is part of the annual NEM Zagreb, which made its fourth appearance in 2024, held at the Hotel Esplanade Zagreb from 10 to 12 December. NEM Zagreb 2024 originated from the successful NEM Dubrovnik.

The NEM Awards, scheduled for 8 and 9 December 2025, will have three categories: Best Finished TV Series in CEE, Best Pre-Development TV Series in Europe, and Best AI for Video Industry. The Best Finished TV Series in CEE category recognises TV series produced in Central and Eastern Europe that aired or were streamed between 15 September 2024 and 15 October 2025. The Best Pre-Development TV Series in Europe category highlights prospective projects still in pre-development, providing opportunities for screenwriters and creators to engage with producers and increase visibility. The Best AI for Video Industry category acknowledges notable uses of artificial intelligence within the video sector, including content creation, editing, personalization, and audience engagement.

Submissions for the NEM Awards will be accepted until 4 November 2025. An early bird offer is available for participants until 14 October 2025. The organiser of the NEM Awards in Zagreb 2025 is not explicitly stated in the provided search results.

The winners of the NEM Awards 2024 were announced on Wednesday, with Selena Stankovi? taking home the award in the Scripted Feature-Length Film category, and Timea winning in the Documentary Series/Feature-Length Film category. In the Best Pre-development Project Award powered by HAVC, Teodora Markova and Sta?islavs Tokalovs, The Last Divorce of Communism, were the winners.

The revised format of the NEM Awards aims to acknowledge creativity, expand beyond conventional TV and film, bring together various sectors of the industry, highlight innovation, provide educational opportunities, and facilitate business connections. The slogan for the 2025 edition is "Inspiring Video Creators in CEE".

NEM Dubrovnik will also return in 2025, with the exact dates yet to be confirmed. Stay tuned for more updates on these exciting events!
