Each year,

Fumetto International Comix Festival Lucerne

holds a competition to give comic creators the opportunity to compare their work, present it to a broader public and to exchange views with others.

The competition's theme

2016

is:

Temptations

.

Everyday we are confronted with countless temptations. When do we allow ourselves to be seduced by them – or manipulated even – and which allurements should we best stay away from? And how free are we to even resist them? Do they lead us into sweet happiness or bitter ruin?

There are three categories:

•

18 years or older

•

13 to 17 years

•

up to 12 years of age

Format: A4 or A3, only comics (

stories in picture form

), no digital entries. Maximum 4 number of pages (

only 1 comic-story

).

There is no entry fee

.

Eligibility
