Guidelines can be found here: https://help.tapas.io/hc/en-us/articles/11500547668714 under "Professional Publishing" but you're correct in assuming that the guidelines are similar to the incubator program, like providing a synopsis, art samples, relevant social media links, etc.
Yes, you may! 
Hi @STAFF, I would like to know if a duo can still apply if one of them is above 18 and one of them is 16, almost 17. Thank you.
Hey, If we are publish our idea for professional publishing submissions by emailing (submissions@tapasmedia.co) and it's end to be approved on Tapas platform, does it means our comic officially publish as a premium comic in tapas, directly?
Thank You...
We're sorry but both creators must be over the age of 18.
Ideas submitted to submissions@tapasmedia.co and ideas submitted to the Incubator Program will be Premium comics if chosen.
If I'm making a comic, what size should one panel be? And how many Megabyte is one episode? Should I
submit in Jpeg format?
Okay so I have a question regarding co-productions and copy rights. @STAFF
The story I'm interested in submitting is part of a world (my own imaginary world that I've been building for the past few years) with multiple other stories. If this story was submitted and created as part of the incubator program (unlikely, but just for theoretical purposes), would this conflict with the copy rights of future creations of mine that take place in that same world (say I would be unable to create them due to no longer owning all the rights to the world because of the co-production contract) because they (creations) may not be published with Tapas.
I need to know, so I know what not to submit c: since the vast majority of my idea jar is from this particular world.
Hi there. I need to ask the staff directly. I have not seen my questions asked as of yet. Maybe I missed it. If I did I apologize, but I will go ahead and ask a few questions of my own.
So, the issue that everyone is obviously most afraid of,
With the 50/ 50 partnership being said
1.Is this ratio negotiable?
2. In the event that my submission is chosen, but I decide later down the line that I want to move on from Tapas for any reason, can the partnership be ended? Like for example, the program didn't meet my expectations or hypothetically found something better.
3.What is the monthly pay like? Honestly, I ask mainly because I currently have a job, and the amount of sleepless nights I already spend on my comic does not suffice with my day job. So, I'm asking the rate so that I know I can still survive and pay bills. I'm aware and excited to find more ways to make money through this of course and even have tons of deals, but is the pay rate in itself viable?
4. Lastly, can I decide later to partner with other artists in the same season, just to help and what would that mean for pay rate? Would we share like one person? Or are we both paid equally?
These are just questions that I think would help everyone understand the program better.
Despite the fear any artist has with sharing their rights to basically their souls. I am very interested in this program and and I want to be able to trust Tapas. I truly believe in my stories and my art.
So, I'm very eager to hear the Staffs reply.
I am very curious it does not give us an end date for this. Is it to be announced, or did I miss the final date for entry somewhere?
if you check the post here: https://tapas.io/newsfeed/71
It gives this info:
Important Dates

Responses will begin rolling out after submissions close.
No, submitting a story part of a world should not conflict with any copyrights of future projects that take place in that world. The co-production contract covers one season of one story. And there's always the possibility that if we do like the story, we wouldn't mind working with you on other projects that take place in that world.
Though if you are concerned about copyrights for future works in that world, we suggest perhaps submitting a story outside of that world, just in case.
Yes, the ratio is negotiable.
This is something that we will talk with you further during the negotiation process as we want creators to have a complete understanding of what's expected during the program and to ensure that creators are happy with the terms before participating in the program.
As stated previously in the FAQ1, we are unable to give an exact estimate because production costs vary from creator to creator. We do our best to pay at a rate in which creators can focus on creating comics without financial worry.
If the artist you partner with is like an assistant (like for backgrounds, coloring, etc.) then that would be part of the production cost that Tapas covers.
I did not find the answers to these questions, please help me 
1 What is the minimum allowed number of panels in the full comic of 600 (20 episodes * per 30 panels)?
2 how many episodes do i need to publish per month?
(I draw slowly I need to know will i publish on time)
3 can I send the story for less than 20-25 episodes?
Hey Guys
I noticed that in the example pitch... that the individual had a section called overview (which I'm guessing is referred to as story themes this year) and for that section he had three paragraphs. Does that mean it's okay if we write three paragraphs for the Story themes section too?
what do you mean by a season? i know there are episodes but how many pages should be in a episode and how many episodes in a season?
We don't have a panel requirement for comics. It's up to the creator to decide how many panels are needed to convey their idea. The "30 panels per episode" is a rough estimate we give for long-form narratives.
The production schedule is dictated by the creator but we work with creators to have a backlog of episodes (a period where creators make episodes but we don't publish yet) so we can eventually consistently publish at least 2 episodes a month.
A typical season for a series on our platform is about 24 episodes so we ask for stories that are submitted to the Incubator program to have, at the very least, 20 episodes.
It's definitely okay to write three paragraphs for that section, if you want. There's no minimum or maximum requirement for that section. All we ask is that you're able to convey to us the message you want readers to have when they read your story.
A season of a webcomic is similar to a season of TV in which a plot unfolds episode-by-episode. As stated previously in our Newsfeed2 post, a season will have about 20-25 episodes. And it's difficult to give an estimate for pages per episode as we don't usually work in page format. A good rule of thumb is an episode should cover a narrative beat.
