1) Who can participate in the competition?

Participating Students must be from Secondary 1 or 2.

2) How big should my canvas be?

The comic strip can be drawn on an A5 piece of paper. This will eventually be scanned into a digital image and uploaded onto the Litespeed Portal.

Please do not throw away the original copy of the comic strip.

Here is a link to a comic strip website that you can visit to get some ideas and inspiration:

3) How do I submit my entry?

Scan the comic strip into a digital image, taking into consideration that:

• The dimension of comic strip is recommended as 420x595 pixels
• The final file size must not exceed 1MB
• The final compression format can be either JPEG or GIF
• The comic strip file size should not exceed 1MB

You will be using the Litespeed Portal (Digital Portfolio module) to submit your competition entries for judging.

Submission Instructions for Litespeed Subscribers are available here.
Submission Instructions for Non Litespeed Subscribers are available here.

(Note: Please add ".pps" to the end of the file while saving.)

Anything!! We encourage you to be creative. However, there are some things you should NOT include such as:

• Obscenities
