Comedy Writers Job Opportunity!

Hello,
My name is Ryan Kuo and I'm a production assistant from ADA Sport Inc. (http://www.youtube.com/adasport). We're a L.A. based animation production company that has collaborated with and sourced materials from over 200 animation studios worldwide. We are looking for comedy writers (US) for our web series, “Cyber Smack.” “Cyber Smack” is short (1-3 minutes), funny, edgy and viral animation web series aimed at 25s and under with a budget of $300/per script.
These are a few Cyber Smack episodes:

This is a perfect opportunity for your studetns to build their names as a writer in the Internet world because if the clip, written by them goes viral, their names in the credits will be seen by millions of internet users! Since we are partners with dozens of Youtube partners, we will promote all produced animation clips to give them a marketing boost. We believe Colorado Film School could be a potential source for comedy writing talent. If possible, please inform your students about "Cyber Smack" and have them submit resumes and writing samples for our consideration. 
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Thanks again for your time!
