Comic Comp is an online design competition run by instantprint.co.uk, launched to discover a new ‘Comic Comp Designer of the Year’.
Entrants to Comic Comp are required to submit a comic strip design, inspired by an amusing, poignant, precious or unforgettable moment – or chain of events – and turn it into a comic style illustration.
The winner will be rewarded with publicity and exposure of their winning entry on 3x3mag.com – a New York based art and illustration magazine that’s distributed worldwide, and designjuices.co.uk – an online creative blog, showcasing the best inspirational designers, artists, and photographers.
In addition to this, the winner will also take home prizes worth close to £1,000:
A one year subscription to Adobe Comic Cloud (Complete plan RRP £562.50)
Moleskine Sketchbook (RRP £15)
COPIC Drawing Pen Kit and Blender (RRP £82)
Wacom Graphics Tablet (RRP £299.99)

The site is now live, and can be viewed at comic.instantprint.co.uk for full details, T&Cs and a competition design brief – which entrants will need to follow in order to complete their entry.
Submissions can be made via comic.instantprint.co.uk from Monday 10th February 2014.
All design entries will appear in an online gallery on the site, where the public will get a chance to vote for their favourites.
