Where is ZANIES?

Contest II:  Where is ZANIES?

Open Submissions:  March 15-September 15, 2018

Winner Announced:  October 15, 2018

When ZANIES in Chicago opened, out-of-towners would arrive with scribbled directions, suburbanites with hand-drawn maps, and locals not sure if they should take the Ravenswood line or the Rogers Park line.  All struggled to locate Chicago’s Original Comedy Club.

In today’s world, hand drawn maps and telephone directions are virtually non-existent but in 1978, Google Maps was science fiction and not everyone knew where North Avenue intersected Wells Street.

As part of its 40 Year Anniversary Celebration, ZANIES Comedy Club in Chicago is looking for the best way to arrive at 1548 North Wells Street.

Draw, paint, sketch, write, graph, use multi-media, invent a hologram, create a new art form, or describe the best way to reach ZANIES and you could win the chance to treat you and your best friend to a weekend in Chicago as well as a night at ZANIES.
