Fumetto Comic Festival Lucerne annually publishes an International Comic Design Competition. It offers enthusiastic comic creators an opportunity to show their creativity in the international platform. Further, the competition allows the comic creators to face an international comparison and present them to the general public. Moreover, the theme for the 2020 Fumetto International Comic Design contest is:

“We connect us with other people, the clima is linked with the whole globe and for some of us, the heating at home is connected with the cellphone. How we do get connected – no matter if voluntarily or unavoidably – is still individual at the moment. But how is that in the future: what is the benefit of more networking, where does this lead us to? What is the advantage, what are the risks? How do we handle networking in the future?”

However, Comic Creators are free to interpret for the theme “networked”. Moreover, the candidates may make a submission in three categories:

• Cat. 1: 18 years or older
• Cat. 2: 13 to 17 years
• Cat. 3: up to 12 years of age

Winners of Fumetto International Comic Design Competition

A panel of Jury will select three winners from each category of the 2020 Fumetto International Comic Design Contest. Further, there will also be a prize for the best scenario, regardless of the categories.

Also, the festival’s visitors will vote for the peoples choice award.

The winning comics will receive a spot in the Fumetto Comics Festival.
