DC’s FanDome Event is Offering Prizes for Fanart, Cosplay, and More

DC Comics recently announced Fandome a “massive virtual fan-first experience that will bring DC fans on all seven continents together this August”. The event will be bringing together the cast and crew of various movies, TV shows, games, and comic books in order to highlight new projects coming from DC Comics. In general, it appears to be a virtual way to replace Comic-Con.

Alongside providing news and updates, this event will also be highlighting fan creations. DC Is currently running a contest that asks for fans to submit in their original works of media, which will be incorporated into two “Creative Briefs” during the event.

One Creative Brief will focus on works of art. This appears to be a broad category that includes an “illustration, digital painting, or poster mashing up imagery from two or more eligible characters” that “celebrates the characters, legacy, and scope of the DC Multiverse.” During the Creative Brief, five entries from this category will be chosen to win $2,000 and to have their artwork featured throughout the event. The rules and submissions page for this Brief can be found here.

The other Creative Brief will focus on other forms of media. This is an even more broad category that includes cosplay (including pet cosplay), makeup tutorials, tattoos, room and home designs, kids/family characters and shows, and mashups/character crossovers. Seven winners will then be selected from this category, with these winners receiving $1,400 and the possibility of having their artwork featured by the event. The rules and submissions page for this Brief can be found here.

The DC Fandome event will take place on August 22. For more information, make sure to check out the official website for the event right here. Also, make sure to follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or Pinterest for more comic information in the future.
