Homemade is the new T4 show that's made by you, the viewers. You can upload your own videos to the show's website (see below) and if they're good enough, you could be entertaining the nation on a Saturday lunchtime - straight after Celebrity Big Brother on T4.
If you need some inspiration then keep an eye on the website because over the next few weeks we'll be giving you more information. But if your creative juices are already flowing, you can get started now.
If you feel like miming to your favourite song in front of the nation, have a brilliant or unusual talent, or have an idea for a T4 show of your own, then get a camera, film it and upload it to the Channel 4 website (see below). We prefer wmv files, but will accept other formats. Remember that if it's entertaining and you capture it on video, it may make it onto the show.

Who I'd like to meet:
HOMEMADE TALENT
This is your chance to wow the T4 viewers with your amazing talents. We don't care if you're a dancer, rapper, magician, animator, impressionist or instrumental genius - if you've got it, flaunt it on Homemade.
TOO MUCH TIME ON YOUR HANDS
Think that pointless skill you spent years perfecting is a waste of time? Homemade don't. We want your party tricks for the show.
THE HOMEMADE CHANNEL
T4 wants your TV shows. We want your own quirky reality TV shows, makeover shows, gameshows, movie parodies and more. All TV is ripe for reinvention so get shooting. Maximum clip length: 4 mins.
THE NEXT...
Get your band onto T4. Are you the next Arctic Monkeys, Girls Aloud or Christina Aguilera? Send Homemade your music video. No sampling. Max length around 3 mins.
THE VERY PUBLIC DIARIES OF...
Why not share every second of your rollercoaster life with the T4 viewers in your own video diary? You could be the next 'Lonely Girl' and feature as Homemade's star diarist on the show (until we get bored of you that is). maximum clip length: 4mins.
THE LIP SYNC CHART
Are you a lip sync popstar? Pick a favourite song and film yourself (and friends) miming and dancing along to the track - the crazier the better. Every week the clips with the most votes will feature on the show.
And if you don't make the chart you can always feature in our spectacular end of show lip sync montage where we invite the whole nation to have a go at a different anthem each week. At the moment we're looking for videos of Queen's 'Don't Stop Me Now' and Madonna's 'Like a Virgin'.
THE RULES
It has to be all your own work and you must be the person in the video (or have the consent of everyone in the video to send it to us). Remember to tell us your name, address and telephone number so we can contact you. The video may appear on the Homemade website in the future. All personal information you provide to us will be used in accordance with our privacy statement.
If you’re interested in taking part please get in touch with us ASAP by emailing homemade@princesstv.com. If you’ve got any work you’ve done already then you can send that to us – either by attachment, weblink or by sending us a tape. Remember, it’s got to be completely your own work and you’ve got to own all the copyright within it.

Hallo! Merry Christmas! Happy Kwanzaa! Joyous New Years Salutations!
