The Mental Canvas Challenge - A $100K Global Challenge
Mental Canvas has reimagined drawing for the digital age by enabling creations that can be experienced outside the confines of a page or a single moment in time. With Mental Canvas all this power is placed intuitively and naturally in the artist's hand.
They are calling on creatives to join them in redefining what it means to draw. To kick off this movement Mental Canvas has issued a challenge… (and put up a few bucks) to redefine drawing.
They invite you to submit your vision realized through Mental Canvas. Extra credit will be given for concepts that could not be generated by any other means. You might also go for the $100K in cash prizes if you're motivated by such things.
There are 18 prizes: the grand prize with first, second, and third place prizes of $25K, $15K, and $10K respectively and first, second, and third place prizes of $5K, $3K and $2K respectively in each of five categories: Architecture, Storytelling, Education, Comics and Napkin Sketch.
The categories are inspirational rather than definitive, because they hate being pigeonholed as much as anyone. The architecture and places category invites visions that invoke a sense of place, presence, or of an object. If the narrative drives your vision then go for storytelling. Education spans the gap from well-taught lessons to refrigerator masterpieces. If realizing an interactive graphic novel or just selling a gag using a few panels with gutters and bubbles is your passion then go for comics. Lastly, napkin sketches capture all else (as well as spills), with emphasis on minimalism and eureka moments.
