Polymanga Launches An International Competition To Find "The World's Best Artist"

LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND - 20th of August, 2012 - Polymanga 2013, Switzerland's main event on pop culture, manga and video games, launches an international competition to find "the world's best artist"! All artists worldwide are invited to participate in the contest. The principle is simple:

Create an A4 300 dpi (free choice of the orientation) illustration around the theme "My last cat drawing before the end of the world." The work must also include the words "Polymanga 2013." The style of the work is free. The technique can be traditional or digital. Fan art is excluded. Pornographic type drawings are excluded, lightly erotic drawings may be allowed at the discretion of the organizer.

To be won: A return plane ticket from March the 28th to April the 4th 2013 to visit Polymanga 2013 (no matter the winner's country *), including a week of travel, a fine hotel, an exhibit stand during the event and 500 Euros as pocket money.

Closing date: November 1st, 2012 at 23:59, Paris time. At [email protected]

Format: JPEG maximum quality 300 DPI A4, accompanied by 2 "Work in Progress" images in low resolution (to prevent theft). The shipment must be made by its creator. Creation must be completed by a single person. The image must be original, never published before. The same person may enter multiple times, but must send a separate email for each entry. The works will be posted within 10 days of receipt.

The email should include:
- The work in question in high resolution (attached file or link)
- The 2 "Work in Progress" images on the work in question (in lower resolution)
- The name on your passport (or ID card if it is valid to fly to Switzerland) and title (Miss, Ms, M)
- Your Artist Name
- Your e-mail
- Your website
- Your complete mailing address
- Your country code + phone number

Voting method:
9 Juries will rate each design on a scale of 10. The 10th person will correspond to the vote of the public.
Votes on Facebook: The number of "I like" on the album's Facebook fanpage Polymanga will determine the rating of the public / 100.

For example: 1000 "I like" or + = 10/10
810 "I like" or + = 8.1/10

Deadline for the Facebook votes: December 1st at 23:59. Jury deliberations: December 5th.

Lots:
