TALENT SEARCH- EAGLES INITIATIVE

[redbaz]

Hi all,

Just a quick note for those wanting to break into comics as a creator, that the Eagles Initiative website is now open for submissions to its worldwide talent search.

With Stan Lee as its patron and a host of top name creators on board as judges, the Initiative – an offshoot of the long-established Eagle Awards – is offering untried talent a chance to demonstrate their abilities before a global audience.

Launched in May 2010, the Initiative provides a unique platform from which the next generation of writers and artists can promote their storytelling ability in an increasingly competitive market.

Entrants can be a single writer/artist, a writer and artist, or a writer, penciller and inker team. They should submit a clearly told, self contained story of between 4 and 10 pages to www.eaglesinitiative.com/Submissions where full details can be found.

The thousands of expected entries will be assessed by a hand-picked jury of comics readers, which will present a final dozen to the panel of judges comprising many of the comics industry's top talents. Among those who have already agreed to participate are Tom Brevoort, Mike Carey, Howard Chaykin, Chris Claremont, Mike Deodato Jr, Steve Epting, David Finch, Geoff Johns, Denny O'Neil, Trina Robbins, Bob Shreck, Gail Simone and Roy Thomas.

A cash prize is on offer to the top three entries as voted by the judges:

First: £1,000
Second: £500
Third: £250

In addition, all 12 short listed entries will made available both digitally and in print in the form of an internationally distributed anthology.

The deadline for submissions is midnight (GMT) on Monday 31st January 2011.

For further details on the Initiative, a full list of judges and complete juror and submission guidelines, go to www.eaglesinitiative.com. Any questions don't hesitate to shoot me an email.

Does the brief mean it has to be in a comic format? Or do they just want a short story?

Doesn't seem that clear.

Sorry just seen the 'sequential art' bit

It's early
