About the nomination
One-Page Comics are the foundation of the medium. Once upon a time, the modern comic story began with small humorous micro-stories in newspapers—what we now refer to as strips. Today, a one-page comic can convey any emotion, from unrestrained joy to meditative contemplation, and can be rendered in any technique, from stark black-and-white graphics to vibrant, inspired Art Nouveau color splendor. The key is that the final comic must be a cohesive work that occupies exactly one page.
The task of the nomination
The task is to create a one-page comic — a complete story that requires no prior knowledge or continuation. Please ensure that the project is indeed a comic and not merely a caricature; it should include a sequence of multiple images utilizing a grid of frames (a minimum of two).
Terms and requirements
Completed one-page comics should be submitted in card format on the platform artz.work with the tag «illustration.» The work must be no smaller than A2 size.
All technical requirements and recommendations can be found in the submission guide: https://artz.work/about/guide-card.
The project should be presented in the form of a presentation that includes a brief concept and one piece added from the card on artz.work.
Authors may submit an unlimited number of works for the competition, whether connected by a common theme or not. However, each work must be submitted in a separate presentation, each containing one original comic. The presentation should clearly convey the author’s intent and artistic vision.
