Submission Requirements & Checklist

Before You Begin

A well-prepared submission helps our team review your project quickly and accurately.
Whether you’re submitting files directly or sharing YouTube links, use the checklist below to ensure everything is complete.

All submission methods are treated equally.

1. Core Submission Requirements

Every project submitted to Sparkk TV must include the following:

Required Materials

• Pilot episode or full film
  Completed and edited in 1080p HD (preferred)
  Accepted formats: .mp4, .mov, or Unlisted/Public YouTube link

• Show synopsis
  A 1–3 paragraph summary covering story, genre, and tone

• Episode guide (series only)
  Short descriptions for each episode (1–2 sentences each)

• Trailer or promo clip
  Recommended length: 30–90 seconds
  File upload or YouTube link accepted

• Cast & crew information
  Names and roles for key participants
  High-resolution photos preferred

• Artwork

  • Banner: 1920×1080 (preferred)

  • Poster: 2:3 ratio (1110×3330 or higher)

Podcast note:
Podcasts must include episode titles, short summaries, and square artwork at a minimum of 1400×1400 px.

2. File & Link Organization

Clear organization helps ensure a smooth review and prevents delays.

If submitting YouTube links, include all URLs in one file named VideoLinks.txt (or PDF).

Example structure:

MySeries/
 ├── Episode 1 – https://youtu.be/abcd1234xyz
 ├── Episode 2 – https://youtu.be/efgh5678lmn
 ├── Trailer – https://youtu.be/ijkl9012opq
 ├── Synopsis.pdf
 ├── Banner.jpg
 ├── Poster.jpg
 ├── CastPhotos/
 │   ├── LeadActor.jpg
 │   └── Director.jpg
 └── ReadMe.txt

📁 Pro Tip:
Include a short ReadMe.txt explaining the contents and listing your contact details.

3. Submitting via YouTube Links

Many creators already distribute through YouTube — and Sparkk TV is built to support that.

Why YouTube Links Work Well

• No re-uploading or re-encoding required

• Original HD quality and captions preserved

• You retain full ownership and control

• Seamless playback inside the Sparkk TV player

How to Prepare YouTube Links

• Set all videos to Unlisted (not Private) or Public

• Share individual video URLs, not playlists

• List links clearly in VideoLinks.txt

Analytics note:
Embedded views do not count toward YouTube analytics. Sparkk TV provides internal performance insights upon request so you can track engagement on our platform.

4. Submitting Files Directly

Direct uploads are ideal for unreleased projects or higher-bitrate masters.

Supported Transfer Services

• Dropbox — view-only share link

• WeTransfer — up to 2 GB per transfer

• Wormhole — up to 10 GB, no account required

📦 Before uploading:

• Compress your project into a single .zip or .rar file

• Use clear naming (example: ProjectName_SparkkTV_Submission.zip)

All uploaded files are reviewed securely and removed after processing.

5. Mixed Submissions (Recommended Option)

You may combine both methods if needed.

For example:

• Submit episodes via YouTube

• Upload artwork, trailers, or bonus clips as files

Our team will merge everything into one cohesive Sparkk TV listing.

6. Final Pre-Submission Check

Before contacting us, confirm that:

• All videos play correctly and meet resolution guidelines

• Artwork uses correct dimensions and ratios

• YouTube videos are set to Unlisted

• Links do not expire prematurely

• Files and folders are clearly labeled
