PBS is hosting the YOUR PBS Video Contest, and they want you to tell them how PBS is no longer your parents’ PBS, but is innovative, engaging and exciting.

Create a short 30-second video to show them how PBS is your PBS. Tell them what you engage in, what surprises you, and how PBS is a part of your everyday life.

The contest runs through April 18th, and the grand prize winner will receive an all-expense paid trip to PBS’ Annual Meeting in Austin, Texas, as well as some other cool goodies like a custom Flip cam and PBS swag. There will also be an audience favorite and a few runner up selections, and the winning video may also air on PBS.

Visit the YOUR PBS Video Contest page for more information.
