Application Fees

In order to encourage viewership this year, our festival will be free for patrons around the world to watch online without a fee.  (donations will be encouraged and assist in future live and online festivals). 
 
To encourage participation during this difficult time, we are drastically reducing our festival application fee for video submissions compared to past events.
 
***Application fee for a single (1) Video Submission Entry to the festival - $5
 
***OR TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS SPECIAL DEAL AND GUARANTEE YOUR GROUP WILL BE A PART OF THE ACTION!***
 
***Application fee for up to four (4) Video submission entries to the festival and GUARANTEE  at least one of your submissions is included in the festival - $20
(see below for limitations on guarantee)
 
Please keep in mind that this festival, the only of it's kind in Florida, is dedicated to the art of Sketch Comedy.  This festival is NOT an Improv Festival. There's plenty of those around the country, and they are great.  But at CFL Sketch, we strive to bring the finest in written comedic sketch material to the Central Florida area, and request that those groups and individuals that perform both sketch and improvisation feature only their sketch comedy material in their submissions to this online festival.
