2025 Moosehead Award applications open!
Are you a comedian who would like the Melbourne Comedy Festival to be a bit easier?
Good news: applications for the 2025 Moosehead Awards are now open!
The Moosehead Award has helped fund innovative and bonkers ideas for actual decades. They want to remove some of the financial risk that can make putting on a festival show terrifying, so you can concentrate on the comedy! PLUS they provide creative support or collaboration so you can elevate your performance. What a win!
How will The Moosehead help you you put on your show in 2025?
- They will pay your Melbourne Comedy Festival rego fee
- They will pay the first $3,000 of your venue rental
- They will pay up to $2,500 for you to have creative support around your show
- They may also support production costs for a particularly wild idea + they will do some overhead marketing
- If you live outside of Melbourne, they will contribute up to $2,000 towards your festival accommodation costs
That is it. Nice and simple.
