Apparently Tapas staff said in an email to someone that they won't disqualify you if you're a few panels off, so I think as long as you make an honest effort to keep it under 75, you shouldn't have to worry too much.

Hi there, my project I’m still working on it because I have a comic idea, but I need to draw, polish, color, and render the chapter and vertical scrolling panels, and I don’t have much of the story yet. I cannot spoil it to you, since those are obviously the rules right? I even wrote/quoted said quotes that needed to be interpreted below from the “rules and guidelines”. What do these rules specifically mean?

As in as quoted from the rules of global comix awards for tapas 2024:

“Contest Period
Contestants may submit as many works as they like, but each submission must be posted in its own series.
• Please note that works currently under consideration or previously submitted to other contests, initiatives, or manga awards, as well as those intended for future commercial release, are not eligible for this contest, regardless of whether they win an award or not. Participants are requested to refrain from entering their submissions into other contests or from commercializing them during the period extending from the submission phase to the announcement of results.
• Contestants are required to refrain from deleting their submissions until the announcement of the contest results. Additionally, awarded works must not be deleted even after the announcement of the results.
• Please note that submissions for this Contest are limited to works that are original, have not been previously published in commercial magazines, and are under the copyright of the contestant. However, the following actions do not count as "publication":

2. Works published on non-commercial webcomic submission platforms (including

3. Works that have been self-published by the participant in non-commercial, independently produced printed doujinshi.”

“Eligible works

The ineligibility of submitted work will be determined by Tapas. Submitted works may be disqualified for any of these reasons.
Additionally, if it is discovered that a winning work should have been disqualified for any of the following reasons, the prize. will no longer be given out and actions will be taken to retrieve prizes already given out.
1) Works that do not meet the participation requirements (The following is a limited set of examples)
• The work was determined by Tapas Entertainment or CELSYS, Inc. to not be related to the theme.
• The work didn't have its contest tags set.
• The work falls under the viewing restrictions of R-18 or R-18G.
• The work was posted or edited after the posting deadline (including edits for typos, editing the caption, etc.)”

I really need help, with some of the ideas for my story because I don’t know what would work for this idea, but I can’t tell you my idea, because I have it with me but I cannot tell it to anyone cause that is the rules.

Do you know how professional works make theri text and what font?
Even as readers how do you like the in comics?

I just found this post so I'm commenting now: Yes, I'm putting in my entry and hoping to finish all 4 episodes before the deadline!

I've already published 1 episode and have scheduled the second.

I thought it would be a great opportunity to show what happens on the day the Astraleids left Asenya (a story continued from my world)!

The Astraleids' departure the planet's surface has caused chaos in the realm of Xerbia. While powerful leaders strive to gain control of a disorderly country called Asenya, whether by guile or outright malfeasance, the Wailing Star Express is making it's last few journeys to take away the remaining Astraleids away forever.

Three kids get caught in this vicious struggle for power. While some want the two sisters, Zov'ha and Zy'heria to be together, others want to pry them apart.

I was very hesitant to the idea at first but I decided to go for it. I'm really happy with how it turned out! I'm glad I participated


I’ve never heard of it. I don’t think I really could qualify for it with my lack of experience and my ADHD.

Hello, everyone!

I also joined with our entry, added the tag and everything but while our story can be found via search, it isn't listed in the entry list for the competition.

Anyone else had this problem or any idea what we're doing wrong? It would be heartbreaking to work so much on this story and not be able to share it with anyone...

Thank you! <3

I read about this contest only now!!! Oh, my... Just 4/5 days to make it and my full time job will keep me occupied during most of them. I'd like to join but it seems impossible :sob:

When I posted, I only found mine almost at the bottom of the tag’s search results. Maybe because it’s new? I also added the tags to all episodes. Maybe that could work? :smile:

I just uploaded mine last night! It was super hard to write a story within 75 panels. Mine’s just shy, at 74!
