Comic Submission Rules and Regulations

Size Requirements

Your comic must be 4 panels. No more, no less. 

What defines a "panel" is up to interpretation however! If you're unsure, feel free to ask questions at the event to get feedback on your work!

The finished comic submission must fit within a 8.5 in x 11 in space (US Letter size paper, either portrait or landscape orientation).

Traditional comics will be turned in at Reese Library Instructional Room.

For digital comics, the file must be emailed to Marty Duff at mduff@augusta.edu with the following criteria:

  • Must be submitted as a JPEG, PNG, TIFF, or PDF file
  • The final piece must by 600 dpi
  • Size must still fit into an 8.5 in x 11 in space
  • If colour is used, the file will be printed on a CMYK printer. Take this into consideration while making your comic
