The Festival provides holistic marketing, but doesn’t have the resources to extensively market individual shows. 2) The Canberra Comedy Festival is a unique environment. It will work in your favour to look at our website for how the Canberra Comedy Festival was run in 2014 and show how you plan to appeal to Canberra audiences. 3) If you don’t think we’ve heard of you before, give us a bit of background on yourself. Videos should be uploaded privately to YouTube, but can be mailed hard copy to the festival if necessary. 4) Submission of an expression of interest does not guarantee inclusion in the program. 5) The festival team is here to help you prepare your application. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us. 6) Be brief, but to the point. Make sure it is neat and easy to read. Keep your application to the important details, and most of all – submit it by the due date! Late applications will not be accepted. 7) Make sure you start with and attach the cover sheet.</p><p>Festival Contact Details</p><p>If you have any questions about your application or the festival, feel free to contact:</p><p>Benjamin Stevenson Associate Director [email protected] </p><p>Canberra Comedy Festival Expression of Interest – 2015 Expression Of Interest – Cover Sheet</p><p>Primary Contact Please provide us with one person who will be our primary point of call for your application.
