There will be SIX winners in our new art contest!!!

Bulletin:

Here is the BIG GlobalComicJam.com contest for 2008!

Global Comic Jam will be accepting new ideas for jam comics in the form of the first one or two pages of the strip. The theme and genres of the strips entered into the contest are up to the contestant to decide.

Please visit our sister site http://www.comicspace.com/globalcomicjam to see our existing strips, while the original globalcomicjam.com site is down and being redesigned during the month of January!

There are two categories for entries:

(a) Totally original strips (There will be FOUR winners from this category).

(b) Spin-offs using characters from existing strips (There will be TWO winners from this category).

If you have an idea you would like to submit, draw up the first one or two pages, fully inked and lettered. GCJ does NOT accept pencils-only submissions. Submissions can either be in black-and-white or in color. Lettering is not needed if the strip is intended to be "silent". Entrants should send in stories that would excite other artists into signing up to work on a page for the strip.

Send off the submission to globalcomicjam@gmail.com as either a JPG or GIF file, with a width no larger than 650 pixels (or 6.5 inches at 100dpi). The height, however, is up to you.

Submissions deadline: January 31st.

Entries will start to be posted as soon as possible in February on the newly reborn site http://www.globalcomicjam.com. Voting will start on February 1st for any registered users within the GCJ forum. Registration on the GCJ site is absolutely free. Voting will continue until February 8th, and the final tally of voting will decide the winners in each category. The six winning strips will then begin accepting artist sign-ups in mid-February and begin making GCJ history.

Thanks and we hope to see your entry soon!
