Send video submissions to avlcomedyshorts@gmail.com but first! …please read the instructions below.

Here are the rules:
* Each video must have a running time of 2 – 5 minutes
* Each video must be what could reasonably be considered a comedy, although all subgenres are acceptable (dark comedy, slapstick, dramatic comedy, etc.)
* In order to maintain a modest level of propriety, each video may not contain excessive profanity or vulgar content, and the competition coordinators will have sole discretion in determining what is considered acceptable. As a general rule of thumb, content should be no more vulgar than the programming on the Fx network.
* The video cannot be a recording of standup comedy, improv comedy, or live sketch comedy
* No copyrighted material can be used
* The final video media for the competition must be a high quality video file in an .mp4 or .mpeg4 format

* You or a designated proxy must attend the competition in Asheville on July 6th, 2019 at 7 pm
* You can submit more than one video, but only one video may be accepted per entrant
* The competition coordinators will have final determination on the selections
