POV seeks programs from all perspectives to showcase in its annual national PBS series. All subjects, styles and lengths are welcome. Entry arrival deadline: June 28, 2013.
All submissions must arrive by 6 pm, Friday, June 28, 2013. Please note: This is an arrival deadline, not a postmark deadline.
Each year, POV brings 14 to 16 new films to public television viewers. Our summer series and year-round specials push the boundaries of nonfiction television with work from emerging and established filmmakers that reflects the range and diversity of American voices — viewpoints that enrich, enlarge, challenge and refine our experience of the world.
POV films are seen in 97% of the country with an average audience of 2-4 million per broadcast, making POV the most-watched independent documentary showcase on television today. Thousands see our films in community and educational screenings around the country, and our website has millions of visitors each year. We also develop strategic national press and promotional campaigns to highlight the issues explored in POV films.
