The submission deadline for the festival is July 15. Please ensure your submission is completed by this date to be considered.

The submission fees for the Festival are as follows: Early Bird - $25 Standard - $30 Late Comer - $35 Please refer to our website for the most up-to-date information on fees.

You can submit any length video but we will only watch up to the first 5 minutes. It's best to submit a 4-6 minute video.

We are looking for submissions that showcase originality, creativity, and comedic talent. We encourage unique and diverse acts that can engage and entertain our audience.

Of course, and really they should be doing that for you, right?

Absolutely! We will only consider the one that you instruct us to. However, you will be asked to pay the submission fee for each video.

While we don’t say it has to be PG-13 we suggest a set that would work for television as that is a large part of our industry. But we also want you to be yourself. So if you’re dirty, be dirty.

While we love the young comics out there, our venues are required for you to be over the age of 18.

At Big Sky - we cover accommodations, transportation, food and activities for all selected comics. You just have to get to the festival!

We don't cover airfare. And while we may provide a free drink or two - most beverages will be covered by the comics.

We have a committee that watches every single submission, every single minute. They each have a scoring system and from there the committee makes their decisions based on scoring.

We are honored to have some of the best in the business join us at Big Sky. We have a mix of managers, commercial agents, club bookers, cruise line bookers, college bookers, TV bookers and more. Comics will get a chance to directly engage with all of these people throughout the festival.
