Throughout 2024, Mad Cave Studios is celebrating their 10th Anniversary of bringing quality comics to an ever-growing fan base. For the last 6 of those years, they have given talented writers, artists, colorists and letterers a chance to get their foot in the door. A chance to submit their work, show their talents and perhaps win an opportunity to work on a title for Mad Cave. Once again, Mad Cave has opened that door with their 2024 Talent Search By the time the contest is over, two writers, two illustrators, two colorists, and two letterers will have that chance to work on an upcoming Mad Cave project. Details for the Talent Search is below:

Welcome to Mad Cave Studios’ 2024 Talent Search!

JUNE 10, 2024 (PITTSBURGH, PA) — This year marks Mad Cave Studios‘ 7th annual talent search. With submissions open to creators all across the world, we are always blown away by the breadth of talent submitting. By running this talent search our goal is to give aspiring creators the opportunity that many people can only dream of; having their work published!

This year Mad Cave is searching for two writers, two illustrators, two colorists, and two letterers to work on an upcoming project. This search is specifically for underrepresented talent with a unique voice that has never worked with or been distributed by a major publisher.

Each submission must be based on one of these Mad Cave titles to qualify: Battlecats (Fantasy), The Devil That Wears My Face (Horror), Nottingham (Historical Fiction), or Hunt. Kill. Repeat. (Mythology). Each creator may send one submission, but keep in mind that the project you could potentially be working on may, or may not be set in the same universe as your submission.

*Note: To any artist who chooses to submit an entry for only Battlecats; any series that you may potentially be working on may or may not feature anthropomorphic creatures.

Only submissions that follow these guidelines and are submitted through Mad Cave Studios’ 2024 Talent Search Submission Form, will be reviewed.

The contest begins now and runs through August 2024. Each entry will be considered by members of our editorial team at Mad Cave Studios. The eight winners will be announced in September. To get started, visit https://madcavestudios.com/talent-search/

If you are not selected this year, don’t worry, we will be running this talent search again next year. So put your nose to the grindstone and hone your craft!
