Comically Yours - A Contest For Everyone!

Comically Yours

Comically Yours? Just what is this crazy thing?

Comically Yours is a contest for artists and writers here on deviantART! Ever want to draw a comic, but couldn't think of a good place to start? Have you ever wanted to try your hand at writing scripts for comics or cartoons? You can give both a try this summer! Head on over to comically-yours where you'll find five scripts and five comics. Want to try your hand at a comic? Simply pick one of our scripts to base your comic off of! Would you like to write instead? Take a look at our comics, which are all without dialogue-- it's up to you to write for them!


Cool! So how does it work?

If you're making a comic, upload it community projects -> contests -> 2007 -> comically yours. Make sure to include which dialogue you used in the description! And remember, a comic doesn't necessarily have to be drawn-- you can make a comic from photographs, flash, or anything else you can think of! The more creative, the better.

If you're writing a script, you can either upload it as a deviation to community projects -> contests -> 2007 -> comically yours, or you can download the comic, draw in your dialogue, and upload that instead! Be sure to give credit to whoever drew the comic!  Don't be afraid to get creative and go crazy!


Awesome! But wait, when does the contest end?

All entries must be in by August 3rd, 2007 at 12 AM EST -- that gives you about a month to make your scripts or comics!


Are there prizes? Can I contribute to them?

There is a first, second, and third place for both scripts and comics! The winners in each category get the following prizes:

1st: 1 year subscription, $30 dAdollars, the dA knapsack, lanyard, and pins.
2nd: 6 month subscription, $20 dAdollars, and the dA knapsack.
3rd: 3 month subscription, $15 dAdollars, and dA pins.

Of course, this list of prizes is subject to change if people donate prizes! Remember, prizes don't necessarily have to be prints, or dA gear-- they can be anything from journal features to commissions to subscriptions! If you'd like to donate a prize, just note secondmagpie.
