We're proud to announce the finalists of the Other Network Comedy Contest 2009-10.

Several people sent in multiple script entries this year and, while each individual entry was read 'blind' (no cover page or author info), when we realize that someone wrote more than one script that made it into the finals, we're kind of impressed. That is definitely the kind of thing that an agent or showrunner will look for.

One good script is good, but several good scripts let people know that the writer is prolific - and that's one of the essential ingredients for a career writing comedy.

That being said, the potential winners, in no particular order, are...

Shaz Bennett, "Alaska is a Drag" (Original Pilot)

Brendan Rovan & Timothy Cascino, "Curb Your Enthusiasm: Larry's NSD" (Spec Script)

Teddy Goldsmith, "30 Rock: Fear of a Fat Cat" (Spec Script)

Sara Cravens & Teddy Goldsmith, "Welcome to Stankley" (Original Pilot)

Tyler Burton Smith, "30 Rock: Little People Boxing" (Spec Script)

Deborah Gross, " Conversations With Deb" (Blog Entries)

Derek Taylor Kent "Original Sketch Pack" (He didn't waste any creativity on the title), "The Sarah Silverman Program: When Sarah Met Groucho" (Spec Script), "30 Rock: Poached Lemon" (Spec Script).

Thank you all for your hard work, and for making us laugh. Stay tuned for the winner(s).
