Under 12s challenged to Finish The Comic
Closing Date: 15th May 2014
Would be graphic novel artists and junior cartoonists have a chance of putting their work before the creators of The Phoenix, the weekly comic founded by publisher David Fickling and featuring work by top UK illustrators including Sarah McIntyre, Neill Cameron, Jamie Smart and Dave Shelton. A spring competition being run by The Phoenix and national charity The Reading Agency’s website for children, summerreadingchallenge.org.uk asks youngsters to complete a comic strip adventure started by Bunny vs Monkey creator Jamie Smart.
The entries will be judged by the editor of The Phoenix and a panel of contributors. A year’s subscription to the comic is the first prize.
“This is a terrific competition; fun for children who enjoy comic strip adventures, which is pretty well all of them! Every summer as part of the Summer Reading Challenge we run a Finish the Story competition which attracts thousands of entries from children, and we’re expecting this to be very popular too,” says Robert Sommerlad of The Reading Agency.
The competition is free to enter. Full competition information can be found at:
