Heroes, Please!

Every year the SF Improv Festival presents the OCIC Award (for Outstanding Contribution to the Improv Community) to an individual or group that has tirelessly contributed to the growth and well-being of the San Francisco Bay Area improv community, both on and off stage.

In our deliberations, we realized that since we are a community organization, and this is a community award, it only makes sense that you, our incredible community, have your voices heard!

There are endless possibilities with so many deserving people and groups that have influenced our diverse community – we cannot wait to hear who you want to recognize and celebrate! We’re making our decision next week, but not to worry, we’ll be keeping this list for the coming years as well…

Make your nomination HERE.

Many Thanks,

The San Francisco Improv Festival Board
