How to participate?
Look here for acceptable sizes and formats. ENTRY FORM is here.
Clips from your video and photo materials are prepared for broadcast by our professional editorial staff: editors, directors and composers. This is a CREATIVE and SCHEDULED work. That's why it takes us 2-4 weeks to prepare the clips -- they will not air 5 minutes after we receive them. Keep current with the Program schedule so that you do not miss your clip when it airs.
1. Please, study the rules and fill in all lines of the ENTRY FORM in ENGLISH (or in Latin letters). Try to do it carefully, so that our editors will have immediate access to your name, address and phone number. Otherwise, we will have to postpone the clip editing until ALL contact details of a new participant are checked. Upon registration, you may attach to the ENTRY FORM up to 10 files (photo or video) of the total size of 10 Mb.
2. Within 1-2 days you will receive a letter from our editorial staff which will state:
- confirmation (or rejection) of your material,
- your participation number and your CREDITS for broadcast (please check for accuracy),
- information about access to the FTP server for transferring big files (up to 500 Mb).
3. File preparation for uploading on FTP server:
The participant, who has already received his/her number and credits, may send any quantity of additional files. The more materials you send, the more often you appear on air! EACH FILE (group of files) should begin with your participation number, for example: NLD Maxim Hodak NLD0000000000000_file name. You may send new materials to our editorial staff either
A) by post - no volume limitations; or
B) through FTP - up to 500 Mb; or
C) via info@worldmadechannel.tv - up to 10 Mb.
4. After successful receipt of your materials, our editors, directors and composers will prepare them for broadcast within 1 - 2 weeks.
5. Once we have readied a clip for broadcast, our editorial staff will put it into the network schedule. The schedule is updated on the site every Monday (program schedule for the following 2 weeks). To find your surname, please press the dates of broadcast (you will see all surnames for this broadcasting day on the list).
6. Submitted materials are not returned to the sender. We ask you to send us only COPIES, which are specifically made for WorldMadeChannel. Let's do WorldMadeChannel together!
