If you win the Seattle International Comedy Competition, you can use it for the rest of your life as your intro at comedy shows.

Crowds will respect you more if they really emphasize the "prestigious" part.
I put it on my resume, too. I'm not sure if it helped me get all the commercials I do (check out http://www.facebook.com/l/7bef5; www.RonOsborne.com
As a matter of fact, I wouldn't doubt if the title directly contributed to my being cast in this swell new cartoon:

Two favorite SCC memories:
1) Watching Patton Oswalt abandon his act and goof throught the entire set and still be funnier than any of us, and I'm thinking some day this guy will be a famous French rat.
2) Coming from behind on the last night to make the cometition finals and driving in circles around a Bellingham mall parking lot, whooping it up.
Still miss it.
