We have extended the submission deadline to 15 May 2020 as a result. ------- In May 2020 The Comedy Crowd teams up with LOCO Comedy Film Festival and British Comedy Guide Pro to present a special screening event at the BFI Southbank, London. We’ll be showing the best of new independent comedy to an audience including invited industry guests. There are 4 categories to enter, and you can submit as many different entries as you wish (but only one of each comedy character \u002F theme \u002F idea. So if you have 5 sketches of the same type, just submit the best one). Your submission should be a sketch, short or episode that works on its own and gets to the funny of an idea you’d like to develop further. It must be a maximum of 5 minutes and needs to fall into at least one of these categories: 1. Animation Show us some great animated comedy. Push the boundaries - we know that 5 weeks to make an animation is challenging so keep it simple - focus on quality of the comedy rather than intricacies of the animation. 2. Music We want to see what you can do with music and comedy. The music may only form part of the submission, and it can include original songs or parody. 3. How to... The internet is awash with instructional videos. Give us a comedy take that introduces a great character or a brilliant concept. 4. Famous Faces Create a comedy piece that links to a well known celebrity in some way… but be ready to create something original. There’s no space for a tired Trump impression or for copyrighted content here… try something new. How long should my video be? The maximum length of video is 5 mins. We’re interested in whether it’s funny, and we love content that grabs audience attention from the start. So if it does those two things it could even be 30 seconds. Judging The entries will be judged by a panel of the Comedy Crowd community. We are the largest worldwide community of independent creators which enable us to assemble a diverse and balanced cross section of comedic tastes. ***BCG Pro is the UK's leading online platform for new, emerging and established comedy professionals.
