individual GMA entry. Failure to fill out the entry form completely will
subject the entry to disqualification. No information involving production
budgets or creative resources will be requested.

fee. Payment may be made on line with credit card or a check may be submitted with the entry reel. NO ENTRIES WILL BE ACCEPTED WITHOUT PAYMENT.
5. Each entry must be submitted "as aired", as the fans saw and heard
it. NO additional audio or video elements or treatments may be used. However,
if applicable, matrix support may be added to any "video" entries.
6. Each entry tape must begin with color bars, tone and slate. These items will
be used by the GMA Video Director for calibration purposes. If you have multiple entries on a tape or data DVD be sure and slate each.
7. Any entry exceeding the set time limit for its category will automatically
be disqualified. NO EXCEPTIONS. If the production to be entered is longer than
the stated time limit for that category, then the entry must fade to black
