Submission

Have you ever been left out of a comedy festival? Have you tried several attempts to get your work seen and keep hitting a brick wall? Do you feel like you are being over looked because you are not connected or are unknown? Well here is your chance to let the world in on your work.

Chemically Imbalanced Comedy has been lucky enough to attend festivals in NYC, Toronto, Montreal, and Chicago. But we have also had our fair share of being snubbed. So this January Chemically Imbalanced Comedy in Association with Corn Productions wants to bring you SnubFest '07. All comedy encouraged to apply! We are looking at Solo Acts, Stand Ups, Improv, Sketch, Musical Comedy, Short Film. The only catch is the project had to have been rejected from another festival sometime in 2006.

To be considered for SnubFest '07 please send an email to snubfest@cicomedy.com with the following information:

1. Name of Troupe/Act (please indicate if it is improv, sketch, solo ect..)
2. Name of your Cast Members and Crew
3. Length of time for your Act
4. Contact Name/Phone/Email
5. The Name of the Festival your act was snubbed from, and the reason why you believe shouldn't have been snubbed
6. A one paragraph description of the act
7. Any pull quotes or press you may received for this act
8. Any conflict dates you have between Jan 11-14 2007 Thurs-Sun at 8pm
9. Any technical requirements (i.e. TV/VCR, live Mic, ect)
10. Please Indicate On Your Application If You Would Like To Be Considered For "The Last Snob Standing" Contest. If so you must mail a VHS or DVD of your performance

Because of the rising costs of running a festival Snubfest regretfully announces we must ask for a submission fee of $.39, the current cost of a stamp (EARLY APPLICATION FEE). The late application fee is $25.00 You can make checks payable to Chemically Imbalanced Productions or you can pay us via pay pal. If you pay us via paypal a $.25 service charge will be added to your submission fee. Thanks for understanding, if you get Snubed from Snubfest we will send you a letter with the stamp you helped pay for.
EARLY APPLICATION FEE DUE BY OCT 31, 2006
(pay via paypal on our website)

LATE APPLICATION FEE DUE BY NOV 2, 2006
(pay via paypal on our website)

EARLY SUBMISSION DEADLINE OCTOBER 31, 2006. LATE SUBMISSION DEADLINE NOV 2, 2006
ALL ACTS WILL BE CONTACTED BY NOVEMBER 16, 2006

Also there will be a competition called "The Last Snob Standing" where the winner(s) will get a guaranteed performance slot in Major Comedy Festivals and Stand Up stages through out Chicago and beyond. If you would like to be considered for the Last Snob Standing Contest we will need a submission VHS or DVD mailed to 3406 N Seminary #2 Chicago, IL 60657.

Because of limited space not all applicants will be accepted into the Last Snob Standing Contest. Every attempt will be made to accommodate qualified application into the festival itself.
