Seizure Comic Competition

Seizure is a relatively new Australian magazine, and they’ve just started a comics competition. Here’s the official lowdown.

So Seizure’s arty director and printer both love comics, and when they put their heads together David and Andrew came up with this competition.

One of the first stumbling blocks for would-be comic makers, just starting out, is getting your comic printed. Why? Because it costs serious moolah which not many of us have.  Once you’ve got it printed, then you can start showing it around, take it to zine fairs, give one to your mum.

That’s why we’ve started this prize where the winners get their work printed and a little cash on the side.

So if you’ve got 24 pages ready to go, or can pull it together before the deadline, simply submit a PDF via this link and you will be in the running for one of our three prizes.

First Prize:  100 printed copies and $150 AUD (Total value $1000 AUD)

Art prize: 50 printed copies and  $75.00 AUD (Total value $775 AUD)

Story prize: 50 printed copies and  $75.00 AUD (Total value $775 AUD)

All prizes are courtesy of specialist comic printers OMNE www.omne.com.au

Open for submissions now via Submittable: Submit to OMNE Comic Comp

Closing 2 February 2013. Winners will be announced by 1 March 2013.

Get printed people!

Write This Star Wars Panel

Dark Horse’s blog is running an online caption contest for U.S residents to write some text for this panel from the upcoming Star Wars: Crimson Empire III issue, as seen in last week’s preview in the relaunched Dark Horse Presents #1. Write you masterful text here. There will be 2 winners. The actual comic will be printed with the winning entry, so I can only assume the runner up will receive a bunch of Star Wars goodies.

Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award

Entries for Amazon’s annual novel award will be open from Jan 24 to Feb 6. You can find all the details here, but here’s the basic info:

Amazon.com, along with Penguin Group (USA) and CreateSpace, is pleased to announce the fourth annual Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award, the international competition seeking the next popular novel. The competition will once again award two grand prizes: one for General Fiction and one for Young Adult Fiction. Each winner will receive a publishing contract with Penguin, which includes a $15,000 advance.

Not bad at all, though of course you’d already need a novel finished, or pretty much done, unless you can afford to take a long holiday to prepare. Your manuscript must be between 50,000 and 150,000 words. The official entry guidelines are here.

Dark Horse’s New Year’s Resolution Contest

You have until December 31, if you’re a North American resident that is, to put your NY resolution on the Dark Horse Comics blog. If your’s is one of the 3 best you win a swag of unspecified DH goodies. Now get thinking and commenting!

One 80 Project

I just stumbled across this, but it looks like a fantastic opportunity. The One 80 Project is a chance for creative types to get their work out there, for a chance to become a TV show to be shown on MTV. You have until Jan 14 next year to create a 180 second film to show the potential of a 1 hour drama. You must be an Australian resident, and an expert panel as well as the public will vote on all entries, and $5000 cash will go to the best entrant from a tertiary student.

Get more details right here and good luck.

Old School Cartoons Competition

Those nice people at Madman Australia distribute a bunch of cool manga, anime, foreign films and 1980s cartoons, and I don’t think I need to tell you that the ’80s was the best decade of animated entertainment ever. To celebrate Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen they’re now holding a competition, with a very impressive swag, including collections of Transformers, He-Man, M.A.S.K, She-Ra and more. Go here for the rules (Australian and New Zealand residents only). It’s one of those 25 words or less deals, and the comp ends on July 31.
