The WGBH Lab launches "The Antiques Roadshow Open Call" | WGBH Lab
Happy New Year! As you start to put all the holiday decorations away, we want you to start taking a closer look at those old items sitting around. We all have them, sitting in the attic or closet, passed down by a cousin’s cousin, estranged fathers, or a mothers, sister’s brother.
We hold on to them because they are a part of our family and because, we hope to someday pass them along to younger generations – even if all they become is trendy décor, or dust collectors. And we all hope that their history will someday tell a story.
We’re ready to hear it.
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!
Take a moment to visit us at: http://www.thewgbhlab.org/open-call/antiques/antiques-splash-page, review our Eligibility and Guidelines for submission deadlines, and our Official Rules to make sure your video qualifies.
Then, dig out your treasure and get working on your video!
Good luck! We look forward to learning about your antiques,
The WGBH Lab

Thanks for getting in touch Almitra. This open call isn't an evaluation piece - we're looking for emotional connections with antiques. You're more than welcome to submit a video about your picture, and tell us what it means to you. If it's chosen by Antiques Roadshow, they may appraise it, but this is something that we cannot guarantee. I hope this information helps!

Let’s be honest. We’re all Antiques Roadshow junkies. And we’ve all entered the random lottery, multiple times, in hopes of attending a live Roadshow appraisal event. Well, this is another chance to get in!
For just 3 minutes of your time, you can help an antique by telling it’s story, and put yourself in the running for a pair of VIP tickets to a live Roadshow appraisal event this summer!
Get your video in today. There are only 19 days left to submit (for the 1st pair of tickets). Your antiques will thank you!

The winner of the 1st pair of tickets to an Antiques Roadshow live appraisal event is: George W. Angell | Hillsdale, MI for Cuts Like A Knife – featuring a collection of rare antique Samurai swords that were passed down to George by his Grandfather.
George’s video has secured him a pair of VIP tickets to a live Antiques Roadshow appraisal event this summer, and we hope he decides to bring the swords so that he can learn more about them.
The Antiques Roadshow Open Call still has 2 pairs of tickets up for grabs. April 3oth is the deadline for the next pair of tickets – submit your video today and you could be attending a live event as well.
Be sure to watch Cuts Like A Knife and leave comments for our samurai sword Master. Congrats George!

Congratulations Cory! Please take a moment to watch her video, and let us know what you think of this treasure.
