It is our hope that all of the makers who participated in this contest have been TRANSFORMED in some way – artistically, personally, spiritually, and/or physically (improved eye-hand coordination? yes!) – by the time and energy dedicated to the creation of their submissions. Everyone who took part in this exercise has completed a hero’s journey.

The restrictions placed upon the contest entries were derived from The Santoro Correspondence Course for Comic Book Makers. It is my firmly held belief that restrictions such as the grid are ultimately freeing. I also believe that timing is the essential ingredient to making great comics. How do you study and practice timing in comics? You use the grid. Yadda yadda yadda.
**Last year a deceptively small and simple grid inspired over a hundred artists to make comics for the contest. This year we returned to the traditional 6-panel grid, and far fewer creators rose to the challenge (I think because of the larger size, ultimately). The test here really became about the timing. The zigzag of the six panel grid is very different than the scrolling of the three panel grid. A good sense of timing is the essential ingredient which leads to stronger storytelling and the six panel grid is very particular.
Also, the size that we recommended this year is what the pros used at Marvel and DC for over 25 years. “Print size layouts” and “twice up” originals. (It’s not quite “twice up” but that’s what it used too be called.) The 10 x 15 inch live area is much more work than last year’s smaller manga sized originals. So, something to think about: SCALE. And how scale changes how you make comics.
The judging panel consisted of two men and three women from diverse backgrounds. Some were comics makers, some were comics readers and one was a “non-comics reader” - meaning this particular judge was not a comics initiate.
Please see this post for information regarding this fall’s correspondence course.
Thanks. - Frank Santoro
