23rd Bédélys Independent Submissions Now Open

The comic arts continue to grow and evolve, and new talented creators keep popping up all the time, so fast it can be hard to keep up!

If you have new self-published work, it’s time to submit it for consideration for the Bédélys Independent Awards, a pair of prizes for the best self-published comics created in Quebec, with separate awards for comics published in French and in English. Each award is accompanied by a grant of $1000 and they will share an exhibitor table at next MCAF, furnished by the Montreal Comic Arts Festival.

Submit two copies of your comic and include a return address. All submitted comics must have been self-published in Québec in 2021. Important note: Don’t forget to include your mailing address!

A print version must exist, webcomics that are not published in print will not be eligible.
