Phrases to Pages offers a great opportunity for comic creators to network, meet industry pros, get advice on how to break into the comics industry—and of course have a great time! The funds raised will help Pronto provide publishing resources to aspiring creators.
Contests will consist of writers and artists pairing off, being given a mystery phrase, and drawing and writing one comic book page based on the phrase. Winners will be judged by industry heavyweights Chris Sotomayor, Chris Batista, and Jamal Ingle. Winners will receive prizes!
Additional information can be found at Prontocomics.com and at our Twitter pages, @ProntoComics and @Phrases2Pages. Entry is only $10. RSVP on Facebook is requested but not required.
Please note, this event is 21+ only.
