Recently we've noticed a decrease in traffic on this subreddit, even from some of our veteran "artists".

So, we've decided to implement something which I've thought of doing for a long time. MONTHLY CONTESTS!

Every month the guys over at polandball hold themed contests to help generate more creative content. We'll be doing it pretty much in the same fashion.

Submission rules

1. The comics must follow the /r/civball rules and guidelines (duh).

2. Additional criteria could be added depending upon the theme of the contest (1.0 comics, depressing comics, origin stories, etc.)

3. Submission process

• When you're done with your comic, send the link to us via modmail. If we find any issues with it, we will tell you and it will be rejected. You may re-submit your comics for approval as many times as you like within the submission time frame. Please include the title of your comic with the link.

• We (the mods) will post your comic in the contest thread. We will not include the name of the artist to avoid bias and ensure that the best comic wins.

• After the voting period is done, we'll tally up the scores and announce the winner.

Rewards

So, we need to come up with some sort of reward for your hard work. Polandball gives out the coveted Hussar Wings flair, so I was thinking we could give out something similar. If you have any ideas for what sort of flair you'd like, please tell us in the comments below.

The first contest will launch next week sometime (hopefully), depending on whether or not we can organize a reward and come up with a good theme.

Stay posted!
