Submit to CVG-TV

CVG-TV welcomes submissions for air during the convention! Please use this form to send us your video content.

All video submissions to CVG-TV must be made by 11:59pm on June 1 of the convention year.

Submissions may include:

  • Advertisements for CONvergence parties, performances, panels, vendors in the Dealers Room, artists in Art show and Artists Alley, or ads from our Community Partners.
  • Short Films produced by members and/or supporters of the CONvergence community.
  • Feature Films produced by members and/or supporters of the CONvergence community.
  • Music Videos produced by members and/or supporters of the CONvergence community.

CVG-TV Submission Guidelines:

  • LENGTH: Depends on content type
    • Ads – 30 sec or 60 sec only
    • Short & Feature films – varies
    • Music Videos – no longer than 5 minutes
  • ACCESSIBILITY: Your video should be captioned. Not only will this allow deaf/hearing impaired members of our community to enjoy your video, but it will allow your video to be understood in noisy environments such as ConSuite or parties too.
  • FILE SPECS: H.264 QuickTime or Mp4; maximum resolution 1920x1080p (follow YouTube guidelines for video compression)
  • FILE NAME: [name of event]+[days of desired broadcast at CONvergence]+2019
    • Examples – cinema_rex_THU_thru_SUN2019.mov, party_name_FRI_ONLY2019.mov
  • FILE TRANSFER: We prefer a DropBox or Google Drive public sharing link. Please make the video file available through the convention.

Good Advice:

  • Make sure any text in your video stays on the screen long enough for viewers to read it!
  • Brevity is the soul of wit. Often a shorter, punchier video is more effective and entertaining than a longer, indulgent one.
  • Avoid using copyrighted music in your video unless you are the copyright holder or have permission from the copyright holder.

Please Note…

  • We reserve the right to decline submitted material.
  • Those looking for assistance in creating their videos might try the CONvergence Facebook groups. CVG-TV does not have personnel available to help produce members’ videos.
