This topic is dedicated to upcoming comic/illustration contests. Every year there are often contests you can submit to. They often cost money, but the moment you get accepted, you're in super great shape.
!
So if you have the money to spare and the time and confidence to submit something, GO FOR IT
Tip:
Know what the hell you're submitting: make sure you got the right theme, and check out past entries to make sure your art would be suitable. If a contest is looking for well rendered images, you probably don't want to send them a black and white vector.Annual and Quarterly Illustration contests often get thousands of entries, but the 200-400 entries that win are published into giant magazines for art directors. Be wary about it though. Don't overspend for these things if you're not interested.
Comic competitions require a lot of time and willpower, and often only get a handful of winners from thousands of entries they have to read. Winners often get it posted online, and sometimes added in a publication. I've never seen a comic competition that requires payment too. Problem is that the prize money isn't often the greatest in the world.
Either way, post all the drawing contests! Professional, ametuer, comic, student, etc.
