"We’re seeking out emerging BIPOC and/or LGBTQ+ artists in comics & illustration, animation, and video games."

"Requirements:

Applicants must be over 18 years old.

Applicants from any country are eligible.

Ongoing projects are allowed if they can be finished in 3 months, but we have a strong preference for projects that can be started and finished within the time period—a small-scope project you’ve always had in mind but haven’t had time for.

Applications will be open until August 10th, 10:00 PM PST."
