Ozcomic 24 hour challenge poster competition

I'm starting early this year.


I'm hoping this year will have the biggest turnout yet for an ozcomic 24 hour challenge. The first step is getting a poster - a focal point for the whole challenge. Last year the majority of entrants came from people who found out about the challenge through comic shops so this year i'm sending a copy of the poster and a bunch of flyers to every comic shop in the country and for the first time New Zealand as well.

So the winners' entry is going to be seen in a lot of shops. Also i've got the PR expertise of Graeme McDonald (Anomic) so hopefully the challenge will get some mainstream exposure as well (last year it was a near miss with Mondo Thingo - no camera crew available for that weekend). There's already interest from some parties - but time will tell.

But if the exposure isn't enough there will be a prize as well. Avi Bernshaw (Egofreaky) is using his connections to hopefully get some sponsorship.
At this stage the prize will be whatever i can find around the house, I noticed i have some doubles of some trades (sin city, invisbles, crab allan and Transmetropolitan) but i'll give a definitive list of prizes for the poster winner soon.

So I'm looking for a poster (A3) that features
-the ozcomic 24hr logo (by Matt Huynh) (see above)
-the date (Queens Birthday Weekend 11-13th June)
-a space for any sponsors logos
-a space for some URLs
-Colour is OK, but it needs to look good in b/w
-not full bleed
-the art will be needed to fit on a a5 flyer as well.


Last years winner, Jase Harper, went on to win the 24h hour challenge and a Ledger Award - so think about that.

The year before, the winner was Doug Holgate who also one the prize, a couple ozcomic awards and is now owned by Image. Think about that some more.

DEADLINE 18th March
