This is the first year we have introduced an entry fee. In order to grow as an organisation and to secure the long-term future of The Sitcom Mission, we need to make sure we are financially sound. However, we stick to the policy that nobody will ever pay to appear on stage, and the 16 writers that make it through to the knock-out stage will have their entry fees refunded.
