Judging guidelines

  1. all skill levels are welcome.
  2. we will not be judging technical expertise but instead cartoon originality.
  3. this is not a fine art competition this is a cartoon competition - that is not to say that a cartoon cannot demonstrate high levels of technical skill, but what is most important is its stylistic originality and the strength of its message.
  4. cartoons can inspire all sorts of emotions from outrage to laughter, but do so because they have a narrative. The manner of presentation is simplified to where someone with zero background in either fine art or your subject matter can gather and take away your message: how will you do this with your cartoon?

For this second week, our judges will be @corpsvalues and @linnyplant

@linnyplant is being gracious enough to judge for us a second week with her busy schedule so let's all take time to visit her recent #comedyopenmic entry which you can see below, with its featured image and show her some love!

Hi @corpsvalues, i left a comment in Indonesian tagging several awesome and very funny cartoon and caricature artists from Indonesia, hope you dont mind

Upvoted and resteemed too. Hope many will participate 👍

If only I could draw (and am not funny at all), i def. would participate 😁

And oh kiss kiss to @linnyplant

Sending kisses back. You are a good and kind fairy witness. ❤️

thank you very much!
(isn't @linnyplant awesome?)

Thanks @crittercrats!
I think McDonald's salads are recently teaching the public the same thing about "health food."

I cannot draw at all. Hopefully this contest will still be running by the time my kiddo is old enough to draw. He could then draw me some cool cartoons that I would use for contest entry. All original content, of course. :)

Good luck with the contest.

Edit: Sorry for the follow/unfollow notification if you have that on in gina, lol. Fast reply is a new tool for me, which I am learning. I prefer steemit.

Stick figures are completely acceptible! There are actually a couple of well known web comics that are done entirely with stick figures. As a matter of fact, I am a fan of using the stick figure because it forces the viewer into engaging their imagination more. There is also something about the "stick figure" which stands out in our mind as an important icon that we should pay attention to. Think of the icons on bathroom doors, or cross-walks: stick figures! And the eye gravitates immediately to them wherever they appear.

Hi! Here's my entry. Thanks for the contest, @corpsvalues.

Fish Scales Comix 2

Great cartoon! Thanks for your submission!

Sweet! Nice to know you and your contest too, @corpsvalues.

Task complete :D

I resteemed your challenge too. Hopefully you'll get some more traffic :)

I love it! You are an inspiration to all the people who are ashamed to show their stick figures. Let's all be like merej99 and start with python, I mean start cartooning.

Stick figures are fun. It's not fine art...but then again... Jackson Pollock splattered paint all over the canvas and they call it abstract expressionism. Maybe stick figures needs a fancy schmancy name.

Oooh! How about Prepubescent Minimalist Movement? LOL

You heard it, folks. "Stick figures are fun."

And your stick figures are art that is fine with me.

thanks for your entry! Nice job!

Just thought I'd drop this here. Not sure if there is a particular theme from week to week or if it's just a cartoon free-for-all...? Anyway, this is my OC superhero Kickman and his sidekick against a platoon of henchmen. https://steemit.com/comics/@sidekickmatt/kickman-4x10

Thanks for the entry: and no themes currently!
Once we have a larger group of regular contributors, we can discuss whether that is something that everyone would enjoy.
For now, I want to help everyone get more exposure for their ongoing projects as well as encouraging as many people as I can who have not tried cartooning to give it a try.

Why thank you, Mr. @jadams2k18, and welcome to the contest!

Thanks and I want to thank to @linnyplant for letting me know about your contest

She's so nice

Isn't she great? =D

She's so fine... she's one of a kind

Here's my entry

Thanks for the entry!
Hey that's what I look like if I catch myself on the trending page.

I still don’t get it GP...but I laughed anyway...

You have to go to the #price channel on steem.chat to get it.

I’ll go check price channel later. I hope you’re not sending me to some pornie place, GP! My very tired and slow brain just got 4head now... Geez! I actually thought that face was you too...but maybe not. :P
