FX has recently started their marketing campaign for the new season of their hit comedy “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”. A show that was greenlit after 3 friends made a pilot with $250. Along with this premiere FX also started their pilot competition where they are accepting submissions of 5 minute shorts for show ideas. The winner of the competition gets $50,000 to make a 30 minute pilot of their short.

from the myspace website:

Got a great idea for a comedy? Then FX wants to see it. Whether it’s standup, or a sitcom, or just a funny bit…Make it in 5 minutes or less and you could get a $50,000 production budget to turn it into your very own pilot. Once your pilot is made you’ll have the chance to pitch it to FX and premiere it on Myspace.

Submissions are due by June 12th so if you plan on submitting, you better get crackin.
