Want to be on Antiques Roadshow?
If you collect vintage Mexican silver jewelry or silverware and are a fan of PBS’ Antiques Roadshow, you probably know that antique or vintage Mexican silver doesn’t appear on the program very often. But if you’re handy with a video camera, you might be able to change that – and win a pair of VIP passes to the show of your choice. All you have to do is enter the WGBH Lab’s Open Call program. From the contest description:
Does it make you laugh? Cry? Who gave you the piece, and what did they tell you about it? Whatever the details, The WGBH Lab, in partnership with PBS’s own Antiques Roadshow, wants to see your item and hear its story.
Showcase your piece in an original home movie or creative short film, no longer than 2 minutes. Be unique, and fun with your antique and its story. We want your video to dazzle our audience, and us as well. Your reward? – How about a pair of tickets to a live taping of Antiques Roadshow this summer?
From now, until the end of May, we will be awarding 3 video submissions with a pair of VIP tickets to attend a live taping of an Antiques Roadshow appraisal event.
Additionally, your video could be chosen by Antiques Roadshow for national broadcast at a later date, to be featured on their website, or chosen as a stand alone video short to be aired on PBS stations nationwide!
If you simply want to attend a taping of Antiques Roadshow you can enter a drawing for free tickets to any of this year’s six summer stops (San Diego 6/12, Billings 6/26, Miami Beach 7/10, Biloxi 7/24, Des Moines 8/7, Washington, D.C. 8/21). Apply by April 19, 2010.
