For those of you who have never heard of it, here’s the rundown:
What is "Comic Book Idol"?
Comic Book Idol (CBI) is an amateur art competition sponsored by Comic Book Resources (CBR) and participating advertisers. It's a five-week, five-round contest in which contestants will be asked to complete an art assignment each week by a deadline. A panel of comic book professionals comment on the artists' work in each round. Fans determine which contestants move on to subsequent rounds by voting in a weekly poll. And all of this action takes place in a specially designated moderated forum.
Who are the judges?
Our regular panel of judges consists of Mike Carlin (Senior Group Editor, DC Comics), Jeff Mariotte (Editor-in-Chief, IDW Publishing), and Eric Stephenson (Managing Editor, Image Comics). There will also be "surprise" comic creator guest judges to be announced, one per round, as the competition progresses.
Okay, but where's Ryan Seacrest?
The host for "Comic Book Idol" is J. Torres, writer of DC's "Teen Titans Go", Oni's "Jason & the Argobots", and Comic Book Resource's "Open Your Mouth", the column that originated the competition. He will be posting weekly introductions, instructions to the contestants (i.e. the art assignments), and official announcements including who's been eliminated in each round. Be nice to him.
Eliminated?
Ten contestants will be chosen to compete. Each week registered CBR readers vote in a poll that determines who moves on to the next round and who gets eliminated from the competition. The two contestants with the least amount of votes in each round will be taken out of the competition while the rest continue to the next art assignment. In the final round, there will be two contestants vying for the top spot.
Can everybody play?
Comic Book Idol is an amateur comic book art competition open to the public with the exception of employees of Comic Book Resources, DC Comics, IDW Publishing, Image Comics, Comicon-International, Digital Webbing, BCEMylar.com, and NewKadia.com. The contest is open to artists who have not produced comic book artwork for pay, or have not otherwise claimed professional status as a comic book artist. Artists from other fields who have not been paid to produce artwork published in a comic book may still be eligible. Individuals whose only comic book work is self-published may still be eligible. Creators of online or amateur web comics may still be eligible.
