Connecting the world of children's content.
A worldwide professional network for the people, companies and events behind entertainment and media for young audiences. Build a profile, list your content, show which rights are open, and meet the buyers who are looking for it.
One profile. Your whole catalogue.
JCN borrows what works from three places professionals already use: a network to connect, a credits database to be found in, and a market catalogue to close deals from.
Professional profiles
Every member has a verified profile for themselves or their company. Follow, message and introduce people across borders.
- Role, company, territories covered
- Credits, festivals, awards
- Introductions and direct messages
Content listings
List a series, a book, a game or a format with the details buyers filter on: age range, language, stage, running time.
- Trailers, samples and pitch decks
- Search by format, age and genre
- Not limited to film
Rights and licensing
Show which rights are open, licensed or held, by territory, language and platform, so the right buyer opens the right conversation.
- Territory and platform rights grid
- Content wanted and buyer requests
- Looking for distribution or co-production
Who is in the network
JCN covers content and IP for children and young audiences. Toys, technology and education belong when they connect to stories, characters, licensing or IP.
A network, not another festival.
JCN does not replace existing children's festivals, fairs and markets. It connects them. Each affiliate keeps its own name, audience and programme.
Junior Content Network
The umbrella platform and professional network for the children's-content ecosystem, working across film, television, animation, publishing, games, audio, licensing and emerging media.
Junior Content Market
Discover. Deal. Deliver.The marketplace for content, IP, rights and partnerships. Producers and rights holders meet distributors, broadcasters, publishers and buyers.
Junior Content Expo
The international meeting place. Exhibit, pitch, negotiate rights and find co-production partners face to face.
Affiliates
Independent children's film festivals, book fairs, game events, animation festivals, markets and associations that join the network and keep their identity.
Canada Kids Film Festival®
An independent Canadian brand with its own audience, programme and social channels, and an affiliated festival of Junior Content Network.
