CRITERIA & ELIGIBILITY

Eligibility
Broadcasters, independent producers and all who produce television in the public interest are  eligible to submit programmes to Input.  Programmes must have aired on at least one television station, or have a station's promise to be aired before the Input conference.  If you have questions about this requirement, please contact your National Coordinator.

Production Date

Programmes must have been produced after January 2006.

Genres
All programming genres will be considered.

Broadcast
Programmes must have aired, or have a station's promise to be aired. If you have questions about this requirement, please contact your National Coordinator.

Deadline
National Coordinators set their own schedules for national pre-selection. Most of the deadlines can be found on the National Coordinators list, if not contact your NC to confirm the deadline for your country. 
For all countries without a National Coordinator, entries have to reach the International Coordinator by December 31 2007. 
Programmes submissions will not be accepted after the applicable deadlines.

DVDs required
Two DVDs of each programme should be submitted and the lingua franca of Input is English. In rare cases, programmes without subtitles are also considered if a dialogue list and/or script is included. Once a programme is selected, its submitter will be asked to provide two PAL DigiBeta copies with a dialogue list to the INPUT organisers. These tapes will not be returned by the INPUT organisers unless specifically asked to do so.

Entry Fee
There is no charge for programme submissions.

Key Person
INPUT is a screening and debate conference. If the programme is selected, the director or a key person closely connected to the making of the programme (usually the producer) is required to represent the programme at the conference. If the key person does not attend the conference, the programme will not be screened.

How to submit a Programme
You need to enter your programme submission online (see below).

1.  If your country has a National Coordinator the submission goes automatically to him/her. If you are in a country without an NC the submission goes automatically to the International Programme Coordinator Sergio Borelli and to the INPUT International Selection in Berlin.

2. Print the submission form duly filled in and send it with two DVDs by regular mail to your NC or to the INPUT International Selection (c/o Deutsche Welle TV, Managing Director's Office, Max Hoffmann, Voltastr.6, D - 13355 Berlin).
