Scripts have to be authentic, bold and original and they have to focus on Romanian realities. The First Episode contest was launched on 17 February and the deadline is 15 May 2015. The scripts will be judged by a jury of professionals from HBO Romania and HBO Europe.
The winner might become the new HBO Romania original series. The channel launched its third original series, Shadows/Umbre, which is its most expensive project up to date, in December 2014.
