New York IT Awards

The Rules:

  • Each contestant will have a minimum of 45 seconds to perform before they can be gonged.
  • If gonged the contestant must stop their performance.  Remember this is all in good fun.
  • The maximum time of each act is not to exceed 5 minutes.
  • At the end of each successful performance the panel of judges will grade the act on a scale of 1-10.
  • At the conclusion of the evening the act with the highest score will be declared the winner.
  • In the event of a tie the winner will by the volume of the audience applause.
  • The winner from the evening will receive a prize and will be invited back to future evenings.
  • All acts must be approved prior to performance.
    • We use a simple “Is it legal?” method of approval.  Please folks just use common sense.  You know the drill: Don’t bring a live firearm on stage, don’t set the stage on fire, don’t throw sharp things at the audience, don’t have sex with anything on stage, don’t perform a really bad monologue from “Night Mother”.  If you can get arrested for doing it, don’t do it on stage. 

 

PREVIOUS WINNERS

   
For consideration please email your contact information and a description of your act to: (contestants@blackdoortheatre.com).  Any links that would allow us to see you perform; quicktime vids, websites, myspace pages, etc. would be helpful.  We just need to know that you’re not insane or, at least that bad type of insane. (you know, the type that always ends with the cops showing up)  All variety admissions will be considered.  The zanier the better.  This will be a late night variety show in its purest form.
