SBI shares give you a share of a cascading reward pool that will upvote your posts according to how many shares you own!

Judging Guidelines

All skill levels are welcome. We will not be judging technical expertise but instead cartoon originality.
What is most important is the stylistic originality of your submission and the strength of its message.
Cartoons can inspire all sorts of emotions from outrage to laughter, but do so because they have a narrative. The manner of presentation is simplified to where someone with zero background in either fine art or your subject matter can gather and take away your message: how will you do this with your cartoon?

For this sixteenth week, our judges will be @corpsvalues and @hiddenblade!!

@hiddenblade has agreed to judge for us a second week and we are honored! The images in this post are taken from her very active and amazing blog (with her permission), and I highly encourage you to follow her and read her posts, which never cease to amaze me with their beauty, daring, and raw look at life and emotions!
If you know of someone who you think is willing to take the leap and try their hand at making a cartoon, then be sure to give them a nudge, because despite there being 3 prizes awarded, this is actually a judgment free zone! =D
We look forward to seeing your best cartoons!
Good luck!
