2030 Showcase Program
Showcase Submissions
Applications Now Open!
Showcasing Industry Progress Towards the 2030 Vision
We created the 2030 Showcase Program so we can share the innovative work these industry leaders are doing with the rest of the M&E community. Now in its second year, the 2030 Showcase Program has created some great case studies that demonstrate how the Principles of the 2030 Vision have been leveraged in workflows from pre-production, through sound and visual effects pipelines, to broadcast and streaming distribution and into rapid access archives.
Submissions for the 2030 Showcase program are now open year round – whenever you have an meaningful case study – share it with MovieLabs and submit to be part of the 2030 Showcase Program!
All the details for your submission are included below, we look forward to seeing the amazing work you have been doing!
Program Benefits
Organizations that participate in the 2030 Showcase Program will be recognized by MovieLabs in the following ways:
Case Study
MovieLabs will publish a case study detailing how the product/service aligns with the 2030 Vision. A library of selected 2030 case studies are hosted online at Movielabs.com for all to see, each highlighting its achievements, and the corresponding 2030 Principles that have been put into practice. MovieLabs promotes the case studies on it’s website and social channels.
Technology Sandbox
As we continue to develop and publish further architectures and specifications for the 2030 Vision, MovieLabs may include Showcase partners in potential MovieLabs sandbox development projects, additional case studies or multi-party implementations.
Industry Outreach
MovieLabs reference participating Showcase companies in the industry outreach work we do to promote the 2030 Vision including in videos, keynotes, events and social media posts. MovieLabs has also promoted Showcase participants at major tradeshows including HPA Tech Retreat and IBC.
MovieLabs also makes available exclusive promotional assets to companies selected for the Showcase to enable organizations to promote their case studies and their alignment to the 2030 Vision.

Your video should make clear how your case study demonstrates the 2030 Vision and which Principles you believe it demonstrates. You can include a demonstration of the product or service and include which partners are also involved (if applicable).
- Don’t worry about the production quality of your video, it can be a desktop capture and webcam footage – we’re more interested in content than production value! Your submission videos will remain private and are not shared outside of MovieLabs.
- Make sure you have permission of any customers or partners that are mentioned in your video and that they are comfortable being part of the 2030 Showcase Program.
- Extra credit for using the MovieLabs Visual Language in your submission materials and product/service!

Some Important Notes
- MovieLabs does not endorse individual companies or products and the 2030 Showcase should not be seen as any implicit or implied endorsement by MovieLabs or any of its member studios.
- The 2030 Showcase program is not a certification or compliance program for the 2030 Vision or the Principles within it.
- Movielabs will decide at its sole discretion which organizations products and services should be included in the 2030 Showcase program. Decision criteria includes alignment to the 2030 Vision Principles and industry impact. If a showcase application is not selected for the program, organizations may resubmit for future consideration.
- MovieLabs will not sign NDAs in conjunction with the 2030 Showcase program so please only send us details of launched products/services/solutions and customer references that are public or you are willing to make public through this program. Before submission you should ensure you have approvals of all case study participants and any 3rd party partners.
- Submissions should be for publicly available products/services and not for future products, designs, or Proof of Concept implementations. Beta products or features are acceptable as long as they are commercially and broadly available. All submissions should include a reference customer or media workflow where the product or service was demonstrated.
