… because it’s never too early to get infected with the Christmas spirit!

MANGA PUNK FAT & JOLLY HOLIDAY CONTEST
The idea is to make a short comic – with or without dialogue – about whatever you want. It can be about what you did last weekend or about your favorite winter holiday (Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, New Year’s, Solstice, etc.). Here are some specs to guide your work:

• Comic strips can be from 1 – 4 panels long (horizontally aligned) or 1 – 10 panels long (vertically aligned).
• Comic pages can have as many panels as you’d like, but you’re limited to a maximum of 6 pages.
• No comic will be considered too short!

Now, here’s the catch: Santa Claus has to get a cameo (guest appearance)! His presence in the story can be funny, ironic, creepy, horrifying, gross, touching, anything at all – so long as it’s original. On December 26th we will announce winners in several categories as well as an overall-best winner.

The categories will be:

• Best Artwork (awesome art that may outshine the story and cameo)
• Best Story (awesome story that may outshine the art and cameo)
• Best Cameo (great cameo that may outshine art and story)
• Best Overall Comic (most awesome combo of art, story, and cameo overall)

The deadline for all submissions will be December 21st @ midnight (eastern time). Prizes will be announced soon. Please sent submissions to mangapunkwebsite@gmail.com.

Have fun, and good luck!
