Final Submission Checklist

Use this checklist to prepare and deliver your final submission. All of our deadlines are very tight; you can avoid jeopardizing the status of your entry by following these instructions carefully.

-1- Prepare a videotape of your submission mastered on the best equipment available to you. Start with 20 seconds of standard color bars and tone, generated from the same source as the images on the tape, followed by 10 seconds of black.

-2- Label your tape and its case with the following information:

  • Your entry number.
  • The title of the piece.
  • Total running time, which is not to exceed the time indicated on your acceptance letter.
  • Contact name and phone number.

-3- Package your tape for safe delivery. Please use bubble wrap or plastic padded mailers. DO NOT USE fiber or pulp-padded mailers - if these break during shipping, your tape will be ruined.

-4- If you are using a delivery service, record the tracking number for the package and use it to determine if your submission has arrived safely. We will be unable to track this for you.

-5- Ship your package to the following address so that it arrives no later than 18 June 1997.
