The Fumetto International Comic Competition 2025 forms a key part of the Fumetto International Comix Festival in Lucerne, Switzerland. This festival is renowned for its dedication to showcasing innovative and compelling works from comic artists around the world. For the 2025 edition, the competition invites participants to explore the theme "Rich," which challenges artists to interpret and visualize the concept of wealth in all its forms. Whether it’s financial wealth, emotional richness, or even the societal implications of being rich, the competition encourages a broad and creative approach to the theme.
Participants in the Fumetto International Comic Competition 2025 are required to submit a single comic that consists of up to four pages. These pages must be presented in a landscape format, either A4 or A3 size, adhering to the festival’s guidelines. The competition is open to comic artists of all skill levels, from beginners to seasoned professionals, making it a truly inclusive platform. By participating, artists gain the opportunity to have their work seen by a global audience, as well as by key industry figures who attend the Fumetto Festival each year.
The competition not only serves as a showcase for artistic talent but also provides a critical space for discussions about contemporary issues, in this case, the multifaceted idea of wealth. Through this theme, artists are encouraged to express their perspectives on what it means to be rich, who defines wealth, and how these definitions impact individuals and societies. As part of the Fumetto International Comix Festival, the competition plays a significant role in promoting the art of comics, offering substantial visibility to artists and fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of the medium.
