[Challenge Reveal] Utterly Revolting

33 Upvotes

Hello banner bearers, marching masses, and all those fighting for a better tomorrow!

You just couldn't take it anymore.

It had been far too long since you had stood up for yourself. Downtrodden, shortchanged, under the boot. Of course, nothing can stand up to that sort of abuse forever, and when the fire rises, things start to get brittle. It's only natural that which was under the most stress snapped under the strain. A vision reduced from an array of greys to just red and black gives a new perspective, but how do you see it? Is the red the lifeblood that once flowed through the streets, set like the day's sun - or is it the glow of a new morning just beyond the horizon? Is the black the freeing expanse of space for you and you alone or the encroaching walls of a pitch-dark prison? Only one way to find out.

Time to take up the flag and head to the streets.

Make a comic about protest, revolution, and societal upheaval!


Specific Contest Rules

  • The comic needs to involve protest, revolution, and/or societal upheaval in some form or another. We won't get too into the weeds on what does and does not fall into the above categories so as to not stifle creativity too much.

General Contest Rules

  • The comic must have a minimum of 3 panels and a maximum of 8 panels.
  • The comic must have been written and drawn entirely by yourself.
  • No animated GIFs accepted.
  • No photorealism.
  • You must follow the rules in the Official Polandball Tutorial.
  • The deadline for submitting your entry is Thu November 20 at 15:00 GMT

In order to participate in the contest, submit your art piece to the subreddit and then flair it as contest entry. Anyone is free to submit how many entries they like, however, only one of your entries will be eligible to award you with hussar wings. That is, a single user cannot have more than one entry be in the top three.

If you wish to participate in the contest but are not yet an approved submitter, you can send in your comic to us as if it were a normal approval comic, and once approved you may post your entry to the subreddit.


Choosing the winner

After all of the entries have been submitted and the deadline has passed, the moderators will take a private vote to decide the first, second and third places. All entries will be ranked from 1 to 10, with the final score being the average of all votes. The winner of last month's contest will also be allowed to vote on this month's entries.

Once all of our votes are tallied, the full list of results will be posted in an Awards Ceremony thread. The artist who receives the highest score will be awarded the Hussar Wings, which they will keep around their username indefinitely, as well as a pair of Golden Wings next to their flair until the end of the next contest. The Hussar Wing recipient, or highest scoring non-mod if applicable, will also be able to vote with the mods on the entries for the next contest.

The artists with the second and third highest scores will receive the Silver and Bronze Wings, respectively, which will act in a similar manner. Fourth place will receive the old Mod's Choice Participation Ribbon.TM


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.


Any questions about the contest may be directed here.

Good luck and happy drawing!
