If you’re a budding college cartoonist, Readers Digest is holding a contest for “the Next Great Cartoonist contest.”
If you’re between ages 14-23, with talent for creating funny cartoons, comics, animations, or other hilarious visuals, then the Reader’s Digest first annual Search for the Next Great Cartoonist contest is for you.
Make Reader’s Digest judges laugh with your best visual humor and you could win cash prizes and the chance to appear in Reader’s Digest print and digital editions. Four finalists will receive $500 with the Grand Prize winner taking home $1,000.
Deadline is December 2.
The funny part is that they’ve been running a similar contest for years, just without the age restriction. Submitting work on spec for a limited number spaces is always a contest when you’re up against talented cartoonists. Great magazine to sell your stuff to.
