XXIII Balkanska Smotra Mladih Strip Aujtora - Leskovac school comics "Nikola Mitrović Kokan"
This year Leskovac school comics "Nikola Mitrović Kokan" operating within the Leskovac Cultural Centre will organize the event The Balkans festival of young comics creators" for the twenty-third time. The event will take place from 25th June to 27th June 2021 in the premises of Leskovac Cultural Center, the National Museum of Leskovac and the Public Library "Radoje Domanović".
As for the propositions for participating
in the competition, they are as follows: the term young author means those
authors under thirty years of age, and all who meet this basic requirement are
free to present their works to the jury in any of the four categories. The
older authors may also exhibit their works, and they are indeed invited to do
so in order to set the example for the younger artists, but they will not enter
the competition for awards. ). Award-wise, only Balkan-based authors can compete, but anyone
from around the world can be part of the exhibit (on the Twenty-second Balkans
festival of young comics creators in 2020, for example, 2839 authors from 73
countries from six continents had their works on display). In the category of illustration you can apply illustrations in color
and black and white illustrations alsike. The comic scenarios and theoretical
texts should be submitted typed. One can also submit a finished and completed
comic that is based on a scenario. The pages doesn`t have to be from a complete
comic, and one can participate with as many works as one likes. Also, the
work(s) you are submitting does not have to be done specifically for our
festival or done during last year. It is only important that it has not been exhibited
in The Balkans festival of young comics creators before. Note: It is important
to clearly state one`s age so as to avoid all possible misunderstandings.
This notification is therefore a call for
participation to all young comics authors, comic schools and comics workshops
operating in the Balkans; Leskovac school of comics will do our best to be the
best possible host for all guests.
