Just in from our friends at OBS, an awesome new contest! Check out the details:
In honor of our Comic Book Review on Arcana Comic’s ‘Dark Horrors Anthology’, OpenBookSociety is holding a 3-Panel Horror Comic contest starting today, February 25 through March 25, 2010. Deadline for submissions is March 25 and the winners will be announced on April 1, 2010.
So what exactly do you have to do you ask, well here are the details:
Use your creative writing and drawing talents and put together a 3-panel comic. All entries must include, 3-panels, the genre must be horror (this includes sub genres such as supernatural, aliens, etc. all with a horror theme) and at least one panel must include dialogue. Two stipulations include: No nudity or profanity please. So essentially your creating a story in just 3 panels. It’s not as hard as it seems, comic strip artists do it all the time.
Submissions will be posted as we receive them, on the OBS Forum. When the submission deadline closes, on March 25th, members and OBS staff will vote for the two top comics, with a first place winner and a runner up. Show us your best stuff! We will be judging each based on creativity, art, and story line. We will be Tweeting updates on new submissions throughout the month of March so you will know when new submissions have been posted.
THE PRIZES:
1st place: Arcana Comics ‘Dark Horror Anthology’ Comic Book
2nd place: 3 Sets of Marvel Trading Cards, (1) Spiderman, and (2) Fantastic Four, for a total of 21 Trading Cards.
