The standard of entries across this year’s Comedy Shorts Award has been the usual high standard. We had a real skirmish in the Judges room but we are delighted with our Top 10 shortlist!
Each of the videos on the shortlist represent a variety of genres, styles and topics, and and the panel of Judges are going to not only have a lot of fun reviewing each of them but also a tough job to whittle them down even further to the Top Three! Many congratulations to all of those who have made the shortlist today.
