I am accepting For Your Consideration (FYC) pages now until June 7th. Please PQ or email your pages to me. Please keep them in a G to PG rating. FYC pages need to be original creations to be added to this comic, but you can use “stock photos” of your comic to create the pages. Of course, since FYC pages are your own creations, don't forget to use them in your own comics to encourage your readers to nominate you for the awards. And because this has come up before, you can give shout outs for other comics instead of just your own in your FYC page(s).

The theme for this year is Whodunit, or rather loosely mystery. Feel free to create your own interpretation on a genre to make your FYC pages (even if your comic isn't actually a mystery). Do you like Sherlock Holmes, Scooby Doo, CSI, noir? Maybe cameos with mystery comics around the Duck? If you would like, you can make a group FYC with other creators to make a more complex story. If you do this, please give me the heads up to make sure your pages are in order. Creators who intend to present can also use the opportunity to make a continuous plot for their FYC page to their presentations. Please remember, aside from promoting your comics, the point of the FYC pages is to have fun, so please don't get too hung up on the theme. We just use the themes to pretend that the Awards have some sort of continuity.

Final note, you do not have to make a For Your Consideration page to be eligible to be nominated for the Drunk Duck Award. This is one of a few fun activities we do during the awards season to show our comics.
