FYC: The Green Screen

Niccea on May 25, 2018

The ballot casting for the Drunk Duck Awards will not start until July, but it is finally time to get ramped up for the awards season. A great way for you to draw attention and votes to your comic is to complete a For Your Consideration page (FYC for short). We have had many different themes and formats over the years, and this year is no different.

As you can see by my best approximation of the green preview screen before a movie, the theme this year is going to be movies. This is a really flexible theme. If you comic was a movie, what would the advertising look like? You can make an FYC page look like a trailer or a movie poster or even behind the scenes footage, and that is just a couple examples I came up with. So, treat your comic like a movie and give it the red-carpet treatment.

Basic rules:
Please keep your pages rated T or lower.
Please do original work for this. You can use one of your pages and change the speech boxes at the worst.
Don’t forget to let us know what awards you want to be considered for.
Get them in by June 30th

You can either PQ the pages to me or email niccea(at)gmail(dot)com. Have fun. And keep an eye on this comic for upcoming festivities and announcements.

Also, as we always have new people coming to the awards and kawaii did a lovely little history piece on them, I went through the archives from the years I’ve been running the show and came up with some sample FYC/extra pages that loosely fit the theme. I also brought along some of my favorite pages.
