Christian Comics Contest

Postby Psycho Ann » Tue Nov 30, 2004 7:58 pm

(I don't know if this fits in this category, mods, please move it to the appropriate category if it doesn't)

Hey all, I just want to pass this news around to anyone interested:

Enter COMIX35’s new Christian Comics Contest, which is open to all Christian comics producers around the world, both professionals and amateurs.

Two cash prizes of US$ 1200.00 (professional) and US$ 800.00 (amateur) will be awarded for the best original, short comics featuring messages that are evangelistic or demonstrate Christian discipleship and are appealing and understandable to a non-Christian audience.

The two winning comics, and the rest of the best material (as determined by a panel of judges), will be printed in a 100+ page book which will be distributed worldwide to publishers, the media, and other Christian comics producers.

The Christian Comics Contest will provide many benefits to the Body and to the advancement of the Kingdom by aiding Christian comics producers and Christian publishers, raising media and market awareness about Christian comics, and increasing unchurched people’s understanding of the Gospel and Christian discipleship.

The deadline for all Contest submissions is 31 March 2005.

Lord willing, the Christian Comics Contest will be held as a biannual event.

Please visit our web site for all the rest of the details:

http://www.comix35.org/cccontest1.html

Go read the details and rules of the contest before asking more questions, they pretty much said all that needs to be said. Anyone who wants to join, God Bless!! ^^

I read through the details but something is still a little unclear to me. How many pages is this supposed to be? 1-4 pages only?

Forgive me if it was stated clearly...I'm a little brain dead today. :hits_self

Thanks Ann, this is certainly very interesting and encouraging. Hmm...we could do something on behalf of CAA..

Yep, it's 1-4 pages only. I would guess if the artist chooses to, one of those pages can be a cover as long as the artist submits 1-4 pages total. ^^

And hey, having a "CAA Team" would be nice! I'm probably going to go solo--if I decide to join--but I would love to help out if such a team is formed if you guys need any. ^^

People who write below their abilities in order to crank out tons of books and make a buck. Especially Christian authors who do that. Outsiders judge us for it, and make fun of us for it, and it makes Jesus look bad. We of all artists on earth should be the most concerned with doing our best possible work at all times. We of all people should write with all our hearts, as if writing for the Lord and not for men.

Hmm, sounds like fun. These rules seem to me to be ripe grounds for a parable, which our Lord used when He wished to teach important concepts, and often packed in a limited amount of time to teach them.

*reads rules again* oohh multiple submissions allowed...:evil:

Hey, Inky! Don't worry, there's still time. We'll all think of something and help each other. :hug: I know someone who was already thinking ahead with something like this. *pokes Ash*

Yeah! Maybe we should just go ahead and form a team...kinda brainstorm back and forth until we come up with some ideas. I was kinda playing with an "idea" such as it is, but I'm more an artist than a writer anymore...O.o And I never could write a short piece to save my life. So...*cough* Anyone with an idea fill in here...XD XD

Oh, must go tell friend who can actually draw. . .
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

Edit: Must be appealing to a secular audience... proverbs not really looking good there... shoot. Whats the entry fee?

Yeah we should come up with some sort of CAA manga board with artists, writers, and brainstormers (< is that a word?) It would be really cool to make several stories you know like each artists draws one and has a support team of writers and brainstormers. I don’t know lol just something to think about :)

I think I might have an idea. I'll PM you with it, Ink, once I can get it all typed up -- though it may not be until a little later. (That way it won't be seen by the trolls. ^_~ )

Yeah I have several ideas to. With the whole plot thought out just not anything in writing yet :sweat: I'm not sure if anyone would even want to use one of my ideas though lol :forehead: I could probably make some basic concept design to but that’s about it for me. I’m just to busy to even attempt drawing a manga -_-

Hm. Well, a four page maximum is rather restrictive. I only skimmed the rules/guidelines, but I take it that it is meant to be a spotlight of a longer work?

Well, anyone who knows me knows that I have too many ideas. I probably shouldn't give an open invitation, but I'd be happy to help anyone in any way I can. Obviously, help in terms of ideas or writing, not art.
