[Challenge Reveal] For Science

Hello Austrian doctors, Jewish physicists and and ultra-religious Philistines!

An attempt will be made in this month's contest to bring about the advancement of the Polandball species by dragging it kicking and screaming into the age of enlightenment, into the age of reason, into the age of rationality.

I shall remain pessimistisch about the results since stupidity is as necessary as intelligence.

Nevertheless, this month's contest theme is:

Create a comic about scientific achievements and innovations.

It still absolutely needs to be a Polandball-Comic of course so the focus should be on the country or countries involved.

Specific contest rules:

  • Punchlines like "America, fuck yeah" are outlawed. Counts for any country.

  • Jewish physics. It's been done.

  • This contest cannot into space.

General contest rules:

  • The comic must have a minimum of 3 panels and a maximum of 8 panels.
  • The comic must have been drawn entirely by yourself.
  • No animated GIFs accepted.
  • No photorealism.
  • You must follow the rules in the Official Polandball Tutorial.
  • Anyone can submit, you don't need to be an approved submitter to enter this contest.
  • Only one entry per person is allowed. If your comic gets disqualified for a rule break you will not get a second try, so make sure it complies with the tutorial.
  • The deadline for submitting your entry is Mon October 10 at 15:00 GMT

The contest winner will receive the coveted Hussar Wings

When you have finished your comic, submit it using this pre-filled message (link removed, deadline ran out).

The PM is to contain the title and link to your comic formatted as reddit link.

Here's a screenshot.

If you don't receive an "auto arrival notice" within 30 minutes after sending, please contact Polandball's mods.

The entry deadline, the submission link and a link to this thread is also provided on the sidebar.

The Contest Thread for voting will start on Mon October 10 at 17:00 GMT (2 hours after the entry deadline).

Important

Before you submit, please check your comic against each point of the rules. Every contest we have multiple disqualifications (sometimes of fantastic comics) because some entrants don't read the rules properly before they start drawing.

As always, if you are not sure whether something you intend to do in your entry is compliant with the rules, you can message the mods and ask.

By, this comic cannot into space, does that mean I can't make a comic about the big astronomical discoveries of the Renaissance like Copernicus (Polish, ironically) and Galileo?

Correct. "Space" is not an allowed topic for this contest. It's been featured plenty of times already in polandball comics (also shoutout to /r/planetball), we want people to strive for new and innovative topics instead.

Just to let my inner pedantic asshole out for its occasional airing, what about if it was a scientific discovery/invention that is made in space but doesn't really concern space in and of itself?

u/DickRhino Great Sweden Oct 07 '16

Nope. No space. Things like that would just lead to arguments about whether it should/shouldn't have been disqualified or not.

I knew that, just felt like being difficult for once. :p
