Students use comedy to win big

College filmmakers have their chance to win big and enter two college film competitions.

Submissions for both contests are due Oct. 12. Both contests require comedic videos and include online posting as the chance to build a fan base.

The winner of Rooftop Media, Inc. and Microsoft’s “Share your Stuff” comedic video contest receives $1,000 and the chance to have the film featured in the company’s promotions. The contest asks students to show the ease of managing and sharing documents with Microsoft Office Live Workspace in a funny two minute video.

The winner of the 2010 Rooftop Comedy National College Comedy Competition – Funny Film Contest receives a trip to the Aspen Rooftop Comedy Festival and is one of the students to earn the title “The Country’s Funniest College Students.” Videos must be five minutes long as well as original and compelling.
