> > Special attention will be given to works displaying contemporary visual
> > aspects, as well as to non-commercial works. Short films, documentaries,
> > video art, video clips, and musical programs / concerts will be a part of
> > the scheme during the experimental stage. The materials selected would be
> > transmitted and repeated (at least 10 times) on SEE TV. We should be
> > absolved from any royalty payment for broadcasting and permit the programs
> > to be shown on local TV networks in our region, should such a need arise.
> > A
> > showcase of video art works is destined to give greater incentive and
> > effective support to video artists, in terms of their regional and
> > intercontinental promotion, and to develop a broad showcase, in terms of
> > genres and countries of origin, of the potential and achievements of
> > contemporary video works, and in the affirmation of the new SEE video art
> > network as well.
> > 
> > You are hereby kindly invited to send us your own video works or those
> > from
> > your collection, preferably in the high-quality video formats (BETA SP,
> > DVD,
> > DV etc.; the VHS copies will be accepted only in case no other format can

> > provided by an artist), containing the following data: the name of the
> > author, biography, original title, English title, duration, language, year
> > of production, short description (the concept of the work), and the
> > authorization permit included. All the material should be with original
> > sound.
