Help us put the "public" back into Public Broadcasting! Do you have a video camera? A cell-phone camera? Share your thoughts with the world on this site.

How would you define "American"? How would your family and friends? What about people in your hometown? Is there something you want to say to people all over the world about your vision for America?

We're looking for substantive videos that will engage and enlighten P.O.V.'s Borders visitors about what regular Americans like yourself think and feel about the USA and its role in the world. We're not going to post anything that we feel would be inappropriate for all viewers. So please: no hate speech, no foul language and no personal attacks. All genres are eligible — live action, animation, personal rant, whatever!

Who Can Participate
Anyone over 14 years old. In order to submit your video online, you'll need to use a supported Web browser: Safari on Mac OS X or Internet Explorer for Windows.

Length
Videos should be no longer than 3 minutes.

Format
Submissions will be accepted online only in Windows Media (.wmv), Quicktime (.mov) or MPEG-4 (.mp4) digital formats. (Online submissions are preferred, but we will also accept snail-mail submissions.) We will be reviewing videos as they are submitted, so get out there and start shooting now!

What We'll Do With Them
The best videos will be featured prominently on this page of P.O.V.'s Borders — and may be shown as part of a P.O.V. Talking Back segment on a future P.O.V. program on TV!

More information about your video's content and format can be found in the submission guidelines. (You'll need to review and agree to these before submitting your video.)
