"COMEDY CENTRAL Test Pilots" is sponsored by the new Subway Fresh Fit Meals.



"'We're excited to once again tap into COMEDY CENTRAL's creative and imaginative audience," said Wallach. "'COMEDY CENTRAL Test Pilots evens out the playing field and lets anyone with a voice, video camera, computer and spark of creativity the opportunity to get their pilots on the desktops of our development executives. COMEDY CENTRAL is also thrilled to have AtomFilms aboard. They are the preeminent broadband entertainment studio and have launched the careers of many successful creators."

Would-be show creators can upload a pilot and possibly download $5000.00 along with the potential of an online development deal with comedycentral.com. In addition, the winning pilot will air on COMEDY CENTRAL's late night series "Web Shows."


"COMEDY CENTRAL's Test Pilots" will accept submissions June 1 through July 10, 2007. COMEDY CENTRAL has partnered with AtomFilms as the exclusive destination to upload and share their one-to-five-minute pilots. During the competition, COMEDY CENTRAL will choose a series of "staff picks" and those pilots will be featured on both comedycentral.com and AtomFilms. The panel of judges, which consists of COMEDY CENTRAL and AtomFilms executives, will narrow down the entries to four semi-finalists.
