Green Gold Animation, the studio behind Chhota Bheem and other widely recognised children’s characters, has announced a nationwide call for aspiring writers. The initiative is part of the studio’s development process for a new animated series for children, and aims to engage emerging storytellers who bring fresh and original perspectives to the world of kids’ content.
The open call is directed at early – career writers and creators across India, particularly those who understand the tone and emotional range of children’s storytelling. Applicants may come from a range of backgrounds: students, aspiring screenwriters, or anyone with an interest in writing for young audiences. Prior experience in animation is not required.
Selected participants will have the opportunity to work with Green Gold Animation’s development team on content for the series. These will be paid collaborations and may involve working closely with writers, animators, producers, and directors involved in the project. Mentorship will also be provided by experienced professionals within the studio.
Speaking on the initiative, Rajiv Chilaka, Founder and CEO of Green Gold Animation, said, “ With this initiative, we want to invite fresh voices into the fold, especially those who have never had access to the animation space. We are looking for stories that make children laugh, think, and see a part of themselves on screen. It is about opening up our circle and finding new storytellers who can shape what the next chapter of animation looks like.”
The contest begins on September 1, 2025, and will be conducted virtually. Interested participants can write to careers@greengold.tv to register. Upon registration, they will receive a short brief or assignment that outlines the creative direction of the upcoming show
