The BBC Big Screen in Portsmouth's Guildhall Square offers round-the-clock news, information and entertainment on a 25m² digital video display.

The screen is connected to the BBC's global broadcast network.

It shows major broadcast events, news, music and documentaries.

The Portsmouth screen also offers a regular programme of major sporting fixtures including Wimbledon, F1 and World Snooker Championships.

There are family activities and live events across the year including opera from Covent Garden, sports roadshows and dance and music festivals.

The Portsmouth Big Screen is one of 17 around the country and is a partnership project between the BBC, LOGOC (London Olympic Games Organising Committee) and Portsmouth City Council.

Your work on screen

The screen also acts as a free public platform for local and national artistic talent with regular programmes of film and visual artwork on screen.

We are looking for video content created here in the South - from media students, amateur film makers, animators, community groups and photographers.

We can accept material on mini-DV and DV-cam tape, DVDs and still images in jpeg format - but we cannot screen content built as a Powerpoint presentation.

All submissions will be considered on editorial merit, but the screen cannot show commercial advertisements, hard-hitting campaigning content or films that include music and footage which hasn't had the necessary copyright clearance.
