Draw one of the
MTV Shuga: Down South characters and upload it to
Instagram, using the hashtag #MTVShugaComicBook.
Entries will be judged by a panel, including the visual artist Loyiso Mkize, who has specialised in both illustration and painting and is the founder of Loyiso Mkize Art. He has been on the comic book scene for nearly 10 years and has been involved in numerous South African comic books, including
Supa Strikas.
Participants need to be between 18 and 25 as well as a South African citizen to enter the competition. They need to be available from Wednesday, 14 June to Friday, 29 September and should not have worked professionally as an illustrator before.
Not only will participants have the opportunity to get their work produced on an original
MTV Shuga comic, but the winner will be mentored by the award-winning Mkize and will receive R5 000 towards tuition fees.
