FAQs
How do you get into the top ten?

What if I don’t have a proper camera?
That doesn’t matter, multiple sketches filmed on a smartphone have made it into the top ten and even won cash prizes for top three finishes. This year we also added a separate category for crews with two people or less and best short under one minute.
Who are the judges?
The TSC panel of judges is always rotating between award winning sketch comedians like Aurora Browne, Mark Little, Kyle Dooley, Stacey McGunnigle, Nadine Djoury, and many more! Only the top ten sketches will receive feedback however exceptions are made by each judge. This years judges will be announced soon!
What if I don’t want to upload my sketch to the TSC community page?
All sketches must be uploaded to be considered for the top ten. We would love to have your work in our massive archive of Canadian created sketch. The TSC community YouTube page is a Not-for-profit page, with any proceeds going back to the producer and this competition prize money.
