When CBC retired ZeD, many viewers worried that the Corp's bold experiment in user-generated content was over for good. Not so. For months now, a small team of producers, formerly of ZeD and Radio 3, have been working to create a new program called Exposure.

Straddling the web and TV, Exposure lets Canadian storytellers share their short digital films with an online community that will help determine which videos will make it to television, and later vote to select the Yahoo! Canada Showdown winner, who will take home a development deal worth up to $25K to develop their own online series. Along the way, Exposure is also giving out moolah and weekly prizes for the films that make it to TV.

Hosted by Lara, aka "Lala" from Tiki Bar TV, Exposure will air every Sunday night at 11 PM on CBC Television, starting on Sunday, July 29th. But don't wait till then to get involved if you want a crack at the contest. I suggest you head on over to the FAQ to find out how to start entering your videos. If, on the other hand, you are more of a mouse potato like me... go and watch. So far... this is my favourite.
