9 SBI prizepool for THREE different categories: single frame, strip (at least 2 frames) and humor.
Contests will be announced on Sunday, prizes from the previous week handed out on Monday.
Prizes will increase as popularity of this contest increases.
If you are interested in being a judge for this contest, donating, or sponsoring, then you can post in the comment section or else DM me on Discord @ Devil#5124
SBI shares give you a share of a cascading reward pool that will upvote your posts according to how many shares you own! This is adjusted according to your posting frequency, so no need to feel pressured to post every day, just at least once a week. Over time this pays off to quite a lot more than a plain 3 SBD prize, but please let me know what you think in the comments!

Judging guidelines

1. All skill levels are welcome. We will not be judging technical expertise but instead cartoon originality.
2. This is not a fine art competition but a cartoon competition - that is not to say that a cartoon cannot demonstrate high levels of technical skill, but what is most important is its stylistic originality and the strength of its message.
3. Cartoons can inspire all sorts of emotions from outrage to laughter, but do so because they have a narrative. The manner of presentation is simplified to where someone with zero background in either fine art or your subject matter can gather and take away your message: how will you do this with your cartoon?

For this eleventh week, our judges will be @corpsvalues and @arseniclullaby!!

@arseniclullaby has agreed to judge for us and we are honored! The images in this post are taken from his blog (with his permission), and I highly encourage you to follow him and read his posts, which give a rare peek into the personal life behind being a published cartoonist as well as plenty of his gritty, satirical, and often hilarious flavor of cartoons!

If you know of someone who you think is willing to take the leap and try their hand at making a cartoon, then be sure to give them a nudge, because despite there being 3 prizes awarded, this is actually a judgment free zone! =D
We look forward to seeing your best cartoons!
Good luck!
