After broadcast, the entire project is archived on YouTube. After the month of April, CDs of the entire project are available from BCTV for a fee of $20.
There are three options for including your one-minute poem:
1) in person, 2) via Zoom, or 3) as a home-produced video.
1) In-person recording of your one-minute poem will take place at Berks
Community Television's new studio on the afternoons of Wednesday,
March 2 or Wednesday, March 9 between the hours of 1 and 5 pm.
Berks Community Television has a new location: 401 Penn Street in
Reading, 19601 inside Alvernia University's new downtown campus building.
BCTV validates parking slips from the Chiarelli Parking Garage,
69 N Third Street in Reading, on the corner of Third and Washington,
only a short walk from the studio.
2) Zoom sessions will be scheduled upon request. Please contact Marilyn
Klimcho to make those arrangements.
3) Home-produced videos require a well-lit quiet room, with the camera placed
close to the poet for the best audio and video quality. MP4 and MOV file
types only please. The deadline for submission of home-produced videos is
Wednesday, March 9 at 5 pm. Please note that even home-produced videos
require scheduling a slot with Marilyn Klimcho and further instructions
on where to email the completed file.
