Thanks for your interest in submitting to the 2016 Limestone Comedy Festival.
PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE: There's a glitch happening where after you complete your submission you are being sent the default confirmation email from The Comedy Attic (co-producer of the festival whose CrowdTorch account we use). It says "Thanks for buying tickets to The Comedy Attic" and lots of other things that will seem very confusing as they don't apply to submitting to LCF16. We'll have this fixed soon, but if you get this type of confirmation email, don't worry, your submission was received and everything is cool.
NOW, BACK TO GENERAL INFO ABOUT SUBMITTING:
Those selected will perform twice during the festival, will be listed in the program, on the poster and website, and will receive an Artist badge allowing them access to all festival shows, official after parties, an artist/industry luncheon and an artist/VVIIPP Badge Holder brunch. You will not receive monetary compensation for performing at the festival, but you will get to do shows with cool headliners, network with your peers and industry, and have a good time.

Here's a couple of things you need to know before filling out your submission form.
- All submission videos must be hosted somewhere online (YouTube, Vimeo, etc...) and must be set to Public so the judges can view them. Judges will only look at submissions that are sent in this way. Do not send us your video as an email attachment, it will not be viewed for consideration.
- All submission videos must be at least 5 minutes long. If your video is longer than 5 minutes, please be aware that the judges will only watch the first five minutes of your clip. Your video should be one unedited video, not a best of from several different sets.
