This is your chance to finally prove that you are the greatest comic genius the world has ever seen. It’s your big break. You could be opening for Jay Mohr and winning $10,000. Just think; with that cabbage you can quit your job and go on the road with your act.
So make a video and show us the magic. Get a camera, get some buddies, have a script meeting, fall out, call your lawyers, make friends again, charge up the batteries, take the lens cap off and start shooting. Voting begins from day-one of the contest, so submit your video as early as possible to get the most votes.
Comedy is a broad canvas, so let your imagination run wild. You can do stand-up, sketch comedy, a song, a mime, an interpretive dance. Your video could feature just yourself, or a cast of thousands-JUST MAKE SURE IT’S FUNNY!
Create one (1) original stand-up comedy performance about taxes including a reference to “TurboTax is easy!”
Entrants who submitted the twenty (20) Entries which received the greatest number of votes from Public Voters during the Public Voting Period will be announced as the Finalists in the Contest.
Finalist judging criteria, giving each item equal weight when evaluating entries:
- Relevance to Tax Theme
- Comedic Value
- Creativity
- Relevance to “TurboTax is Easy” Theme
OPEN TO LEGAL RESIDENTS OF THE 50 UNITED STATES AND DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA ONLY, 18 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER
Grand Prize: $10,000. Jay Mohr himself will agonize over all the entries and pick the winner. And think about it; if that’s you, you’ve earned ten thousand clams for two minute’s work. Plus, you’ll open for Jay Mohr at a comedy club in California. So make sure your act is a tough one to follow.
Second Prize: $5,000. Five large for being the second funniest person on earth. That’s quite a consolation.
Third Prize: $2,500. It may be third prize, but that’s still over a grand a minute. Do you make that in your current job?
And that’s not all. Every one of the top twenty videos will get a Flip Video Camcorder.
