We are excited to announce the start of the annual Comic Book Making Contest for Kids and Teens (previously known as the Graphic Novel Contest). The contest is open to all kids and teens living in the Monterey County in grades 1st - 12th. We encourage all participants to unleash their imaginations and create their very own comic books. Comics are a great way to engage kids and teens in reading, writing, and drawing.

Prizes will be awarded to the top three entries in each age group. Submissions will be accepted from April 3, 2023 to June 17, 2023. All entries must be original works.
