The comics segment of Project Educate is here!

To celebrate, we're hosting a competition of mini proportions! How do you enter? Read on!

How to make a mini-comic:

Stuff you'll need:
A pen
A pair of scissors
A piece of A4 paper
An internet connection that allows you to watch a YouTube video.

Got all that? Excellent! The original idea for how to make a mini-zine (or in our case, comic) is probably as old as the hills, but for a really great, somewhat quirky, training video in the art of making a mini-comic, please head to this YouTube video and let 'SamProof' sort you out.

All done? Great! Now you know the basics of how to make a mini-comic! Read on for the rules, regs, and due date.

Rules and regulations:

1. Entries must be made according to the method outlined in the video above


2. You can enter as many times as you like


3. You can use any materials you like; pen, watercolour, paint, markers, whatever!


4. That's all!

Prizes:
Everyone likes a good prize, right? Well we're no exception:

1st place--One year dA subscription
2nd place--Three month dA subscription
3rd place--One month dA subscription

Entry date:
Entries are due on the 19th of November. That gives you two weeks plus a weekend to get your mini-comic rockin'.

Please submit your mini-comic as a deviation and note *apocathary with a link. Because of the format, we suggest either taking a montage of photos of each page, or scanning each page and stitching it together in photoshop (with a photo of the whole thing as proof it really is a mini-comic).

At the end of the competition, all entries will be asked to also be exhibited on *apocathary's external site (Tooth Soup) as part of a continuing project to expose more people to comics art.

BUT WAIT!
