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).
