How To Submit

Channel 101: NY Submission Process

Channel 101: NY Submission Process

There are two ways to submit your show:

Option A: TWO DVDs

  • If you submit on DVD, we need two disks from you:
    • a playable DVD for our panel members to watch, and
    • a data DVD, with an uncompressed Quicktime file (no other format is accepted), in case your show makes it into the screening.

Option B: MiniDV

  • Note that it is a miniDV -- not a full-sized DV..
  • Make sure your MiniDV tape is recorded in "SP" mode (not LP).
  • DON'T USE DVCAM MODE -- we can't import it.

Whichever way you submit your show,

  • Label both the tape or DVD and the case with the title of the show, the name of the creator, and your e-mail address.
  • The show can be a maximum of five minutes, including credits and everything.
  • The show should be in our mailbox on the day of the deadline, not just postmarked by the deadline. We pick up the tapes that day.
  • The show should be presented as a TV show.
  • The show should be good.

That's it!

Where do I send my show?

Mail your pilot to the following address using USPS. (Do not use a delivery service like FedEx or UPS.) If the mailing label/envelope has a box that says "No signature required," make sure that box is checked. No one will be able to sign for the package.

What happens then?

  • The creators of the prime time shows watch all the shows.
  • They pick the best five or so to be screened.
  • At the screening, a live audience watches the new pilots and new episodes of the prime time shows.
  • The audience votes. Top 5 shows become the new prime time lineup. There is no online voting. The live audience decides.
