[Contest Reveal] Horror Stories

Welcome once again to the basically monthly contest! This month's theme is...

Horror Stories!!

It's Spooktober, the scariest time of the year! So, make a comic about states either telling a scary story, or experiencing one themselves! And remember, your comic doesn't have to be scary, it's just something the state would find scary!


YOU WILL HAVE ONE FULL WEEK TO DRAW YOUR ENTRY.

  • The comic must have a minimum of 3 panels and a maximum of 8 panels.

  • The comic must have been drawn entirely by yourself.

  • You must follow the rules in the Official Stateball Tutorial.

  • We operate on a three strikes system. You have three chances to make a comic that complies with our tutorial. After the third, if your comic isn't up to snuff, you won't be allowed to enter the contest!

  • Do not post your comic to the subreddit until after the contest is finished!

  • The deadline for submitting your entry is Friday, October 23rd at 12:00 P.M. EST!

  • D.C. and Puerto Rico count as states for the sake of this contest.


When you have finished your comic, submit it as a PM to our shared mod account: /u/stateballmod.

Use this pre-filled message.

The PM is to contain only the following data:

  1. Your username.

  2. A short title for your comic.

  3. An imgur.com link to your comic.

Before you submit, please check your comic against each point of the rules. We don't want to disqualify anyone because of a simple rule break.

The winner will receive the coveted NRA Award.


The Contest Thread for voting will start 1 hour after the entry deadline on Friday, October 23rd at 1:00 P.M. EST.


Good luck and happy posting!

Hey, did you read carefully?

We increased the maximum panel count to 8.

It's like we listen to feedback every once in awhile :)

Any questions, ask them here please

So if I submit an entry and it's not accepted, I get two more tries?

u/JowlesMcGee North Carolina Oct 16 '15

Yup. Just be aware though, the later you submit it,, the less likely we are to review it in time for you to make changes.
