BDFIL, in partnership with Caran d’Ache, is now open to entries for its emerging comic artists competition.

Every project should present a complete original story, in one panel, with or without text, closely related to the theme of the contest: "Eureka". This theme can be freely interpreted.

The project has to be presented on an A3 format and each participant may enter one project only.

The jury, headed by a comic book artist, will be composed of a member of a museum, a specialized journalist, a publisher, a member of the University of Lausanne’s Comics Study Group, a Caran d’Ache member and a festival representative.

There is no entry fee.

Eligibility

Open worldwide to anyone aged 15 and over who has never been published.

Prize

Winners will share a prize of 5000 CHF (approx. 5,315 USD), and they will be invited to the opening of the exhibition and the prize-giving ceremony (August 31, 2023).
