Last year was the first time we invited others to add their art to our pitch event’s advertising campaign. We loved the outcome and are excited to again invite you to participate in using your talents to help KidLitGN put on the best pitch event possible.
KidLitGN is looking for talented artists like you to help us spread the word through captivating art! See here and here for last year’s awesome participants.
What We’re Looking For:
- Eye-Catching Art: We’re seeking illustrations that capture the essence of graphic novels and the excitement of the pitch event.
- Thematic Connection: Art that reflects the spirit of creativity, storytelling, and innovation in graphic novels.
- Social Media Ready: Artwork that is adaptable for various social media formats (e.g., square, vertical).
How to Get Involved:
- Submit Your Artwork: Please send us a high-resolution image of your artwork (minimum resolution is 1000 pixels on the smallest size). The art must be adaptable to various sizes with enough space for text (see examples of past art). Selected images will be cropped and resized to see fit. KidLitGN will be responsible for placing text on your image. See the specs here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1H_8gsFdu3gvdglJuq8Wif6nyTAylrSrSZjIfNX298q8/edit?usp=sharing
