Japan

The process of submitting productions for INPUT is open from October 2009 till 15 January 2010.

Productions are submitted to the National Coordinators (NC's). Countries without NC’s are represented by the International Selection Coordinator.

INPUT challenges the set-laws of broadcasting and is looking for programmes that reflect this. Selected productions will be screened during the 2009 Conference in Warsaw, Poland.
INPUT is a public TV Conference, not a festival or a competition. Programmes that challenge the norms of broadcasting form the core of an INPUT Conference.    
NC’s submit productions within their national quota and within the genre quota (1/3 Fiction, 1/3 TV Specific and 1/3 TV Documentary) to the International Selection by mid-January.

Countries without NC’s are represented by the International Selection Coordinator. Please fill out the Submission Form and forward a signed copy of the Submission Form with two DVD's (as for NC represented countries) to the international selection.

Two DVD’s and a complete submission form is essential for the International Selection.
In mid-February, at the International Selection, Shopstewards prepare the conference programme by jointly viewing and discussing all submitted productions and selecting the best/most fitting productions from the submitted productions.
The International Selection Coordinator informs the NC’s about the selected productions they have submitted by the end of February.
The NC’s inform the submitters and ask them to send broadcast quality Digital Betacam (DigiBeta’s - PAL Format) to the Conference Hosts and to register the delegate/s who will present the production to the conference delegates abiding strict deadlines, which will be communicated with the production submitter well in advance.

No fees are charged for submitting a programme to INPUT.
