MAG-ISA FANART CONTEST

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

–> Keep it PG-13 level. Comic strips are allowed. If you submit something that
has adult content, your fanart may not be displayed in its original form. Fanart
with adult content will be edited as I see fit (i.e. blurring out private parts)
when it gets posted. However, that DOES NOT disqualify you from winning
the prize.

–> If you cannot draw, written fanfiction is allowed.

–> You must submit the following by email (click “contact”) or pm:
a) Your fanart (or fanfiction).
b) Banner AND link for your comic / blog / website. (728x90) If you
cannot draw or design a banner, a text link will be done instead.

–> Submission deadline: October 31, 2010


PRIZES:

–> The winner will receive a month of leaderboard advertising at the top of this
comic right underneath the disclaimer. This comic has 300+ regular subscribers
and often enters the top 10 of drunkduck.com. This is a good way to advertise
your comic / blog / website.

–> All contestants will have their work displayed one page update at a time
together with a link to your comic / blog / website.

I illustrate a small comic known as 'I got it in my mouth'. I haven't got a whole lot going for me except perfect grammar, varied vernacular, and a plethora of dick jokes. I barely fall under the criterion for a featured comic (not being adult rated seems to be a boon). However I'm just about to pass 200 comics and request a tiny mention in a future news post.

I just ordered a number of copies of my book, and I figured I would have to do something fun and give a copy away. So, I thought a fan art contest would be fun. (Because I love fan art, and everyone loves prizes and self-promotion. :) )

GUIDELINES:
~Let's go with a "friendship" theme.
~Entries must contain at least two Used Books characters. (They don't have to be central characters or good guys.)
~Keep it plausibly canonical. (It's okay to be hypothetical with relationships and what-ifs.)
~Bonus points for recognizable UB settings (or scenes/scenarios)!
~The rating must be UB appropriate. T+ please! (Basically anything that would pass in a PG13 movie or primetime network TV.) I have to be able to post it.

DEADLINE:
November 6th
FIRST PLACE:
A copy of Used Books: Execution ($15 value)
SEND ENTRIES TO:
Either upload somewhere and PQ me with the link or email usedbooks@comic.com

All entries will be posted on my main comic with a link to the entrant's own project(s) and will later be moved to my fan art archive, so you'll have some promotion among the regular UB readers. Entries also will be printed in my next book with credit to their creators.

Entries will be judged by my panel of die-hard UB fans – specifically my sister and my friends Gael and Bethany.
