Letter to the Participants
Dear Participants,
The participants may participate in 3 different categories and submit their work of comedy based on a certain theme which will be specified around the beginning of the Kontigence extravaganza.
In an era where entertainment in heavy demand, it is one of the many avenues for future comedians to communicate with and about the world in an enjoyable manner. It could be a means not only to advocate for something you believe in, but also to spread awareness about the nature of our society. Creativity and Originality are key in the realm of comedy, and Kontigence aims to develop these skills through the United Events of Comedy.
Within the United Events of Comedy, participants will find the opportunity to make standup_comedys, sketches, improv, or any other category of their choosing. It is perfect for the part of you with an immense urge to discover your inner comedian and dive into what makes people laugh. We aim to instigate a sense of comedic aptitude and a creativity in you, and we are sure you’ll enjoy the process, and perhaps, even consider a career or hobby in the field.
May the deserving participants win!
Team Kontigence
Guidelines
All participants must abide by the following rules. Each individual is permitted to use any software (if any) of their choice to record their comedy, but plagiarism and copied assets or jokes are STRICTLY PROHIBITED. Failure to comply with this policy will lead to immediate disqualification.
Each submission must specify the type of medium the comedy is based on, a basic title and a script if any. The structure is up to your discretion and you may attempt to innovate as much as possible with the stylization in these categories. Usage of digital techniques or additions that go beyond the conventional comedies are acceptable.
The activity of the participants will be judged by a proprietary combination of four factors–
Creativity & Innovation – The style and balance of comedy shall be considered in this criterion.
Originality – The submission will be judged for plagiarism and similarity to existing content.
Medium Effectiveness – Your usage of the medium will be considered in its appropriacy and depth.
Engagement – All stories will be ranked based on how entertaining they are.
