Standup or Sit Down updated rules/regs
Last month, we posted about the Sierra Mist contest being conducted via MySpace.com and we said there’d be further clarification. Well, here it is:
Judges selected by the Sponsors will judge the submissions on Creativity, Comedic Delivery, Humor and Originality and pick the top 15 comedians.
Between October 18th and the 30th, YOU’LL decide who stays or who goes as the voting begins. Here’s where it really gets good: The Top 5 will perform live at The Comedy Festival in Las Vegas on November 16th and that performance will air on November 17th only on TBS at 9pm!
Immediately following the TBS broadcast, YOU’LL decide who the Grand Prize
Winner is by coming right back here and casting your vote for who is #1. The winner will be announced during the Comic Relief broadcast on TBS November 18th.Five lucky winners will each receive a development deal and one lucky Grand Prize Winner (in addition to the development deal) will receive $50,000 in cash and a multi-city tour! Stay tuned…more details to follow.
Also, check the contest page for rules clarification and video upload verification!
They alluded, in earlier announcements, to “sending in video,” but now it seems they have opted to go with the video upload model. MySpace is using this opportunity to drive people to their video upload option, no doubt in an attempt to take a bite out of YouTube’s comedy video traffic. (We tried uploading a short film using the MySpace video interface and found the results to be less than spectacular. It was easy, but the clip played a little “jerky,” even halting on occasion. Jerkiness is a severe impediment when displaying a comedy clip, being that comedy depends a lot on timing. And jerkiness tends to wreak havoc with timing. We hope they’ve ironed the bugs.)
Of course, after what we posted about Sierra Mist and our Boston Comedy Competition experience, we’re pretty sure that we’ll not be uploading any video to their competition any time soon!

Traci Skene Kindle Single hilariously skewers traditional social and sexual mores as well as modern feminism. "This book is a prime example of quality over quantity."
"This book made me laugh out loud! ”

After reading the rules I’ve opted not to send anything in. My interpretation (though I am not an attorney) is that you are giving them rights to your material, including– and this is specified rather clearly– the rights to have others perform your material.I suggest that people actually read what you’re letting them do with your material before ever submitting material to contests or websites.
