The BBC Big Screen Liverpool is a outdoor, twenty-six square metre, digital video screen located in Clayton Square, a vibrant city centre location with an estimated daily footfall of 55,000 people. The BBC have joined forces with a freelance digital curator, FACT (Foundation for Art and Creative Technology), the Liverpool Biennial and an ever expanding network of local creative organisations to produce a rolling programme of artistic film & video for the Big Screen. This programme is called 37 seconds. As you approach Clayton Square, it takes approximately 37seconds to pass the Big Screen. 37seconds is a curated programme of innovative, original moving image art works that aims to communicate within, and potentially prolong, this 37 seconds. How? This is up to you. Please note: submissions are not limited to 37 seconds in length. Anything from 10 seconds to 30 minutes will be considered. Selected material will be screened to a wide and diverse audience alongside works by emerging and established artists. Each programme will be screened for fifteen to thirty minutes, every day at 10am, 12noon, 2.30pm, 4.00pm and 7.00pm. Site-specific works or those created for public space exhibition are strongly encouraged. Selected material may, on agreement, tour as part of the UK BBC Big Screen network and in partnership with international screen sites. To apply for inclusion into the 37 seconds screening programme please submit the following
* A Mini DV or DV Cam copy of your moving image artwork, (no more than 30 minutes in length). DVD is acceptable for viewing purposes only.
* A completed BBC consent form, available on request. Please pay particular attention to music copyright.
* SAE for return of material (without this we cannot guarantee return of
work) Please note that at present there are no screening fees for artists but your work will be promoted locally and nationally through web and print marketing campaigns. Please send entries to: Rebecca Lennon
