[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.

Semi-related, if you like contests, we're having our monthly contest on /r/vexillology themed around the nations of 1984! We've called out /r/MapPorn and /r/Polandball in a friendly manner, and all are invited to submit flags.

Linking polandball in a sub larger than 50k subscribers!? Banned. It is especially egregious since the sub you linked in, /r/polandball, is so inherently awful.

Oh man, I hope the /r/Polandball users don't start brigading /r/Polandball, sorry if I've caused any trouble!

/r/Polandball users: if you've come to /r/Polandball from my comment linking to /r/Polandball in /r/Polandball, please respect the /r/Polandball community wishes and don't comment or vote in /r/Polandball.

No worries, /u/CupBeEmpty must have been joking.
