Hello! i have a question.
when you say "No content that contains any custom filters"
, do you mean that you can't add a paper texture filter on top of it or a color conversion filter as well?
Greetings, dear organizers, I have a few questions about the contest:
1. Can I submit more than one page?
2. I don’t use Clip Studio and don’t have much experience with it, but I use others softwars. Is that a problem?
3. Is it mandatory to be in color?
4. What is the required file format for submission: PNG, JPEG, or JPG?
5. I know the contest ends on the 28th, but when will the results be announced?
Everyone’s submissions look amazing, give yourselves a pat in the back guys. Fantastic work
•
Would anyone be up for having a look at my submission and give me some feedback? :3 pretty please. 
I’m seeing a lot of people posting here and I’ve gotten to see their works through that so thought I might do the same

•
I did not get nearly enough time to polish my work as much as I wanted, but that’s on me. TuT
Wish they’d let us update our works after upload

J'ai réussis de justesse à participer mais j'ai eu des problèmes quand j'ai soumis ma participation j'espère qu'elle a bien été pris en compte !!
•
Just barely made it in time. It was a last minute decision to join the contest and, while it might not have turned out the way I wanted exactly, it was still good to have finished it. Good luck to everyone!
•
•I’m trying to upload again and again and it doesn’t upload. What do I do?/?//? I’m out of time. It’s been buffering for 30 mins and I changed wifis and everything. Is it cuz the file is big? What is the maximum size?!?
•
Can a slightly different version of your comic be posted on your Artfol page without being included in the contest or getting you removed from it? @Artfol
•
Hi I submitted my comic. It shows that I uploaded it, but I'm not sure if it's on participate list. Also I got sacred when I saw a bad quality of my work on my phone screen, but luckily submission looks ok on tablet.
•
I don’t know why my entry from last month is still showing a ghost thumbnail 
It’s my first time joining competitions and I’m really happy… you’ll only see mine once you click it hehe ₊˚ʚ(⸝⸝> <⸝⸝)ɞ˚₊”

after submitting my work, it doesn't show in submissions tab nor in recent feed. It DOES show "This post is a submission" from my own profile tho. Just wanted to confirm the post went thru.
•
•I'm actually wondering how to know if my submission actually went through? Because I really can't see it in the submissions page but I know I submitted it specifically to the contest. Does anyone know how I can check for sure?
•
•I can't delete my old submission, in which I noticed an error. There is an option to delete it, but I keep clicking on it and it doesn't work at all. What should I do?
•
Wow, I love Mirka Andolfo 
.I've read the rules thoroughly, but I was wondering if we could make our comic read from right to left or if it has to be western style. Does anyone know?

•@Artfol if I make a mistake with my submission, and delete that submission, can I resubmit the corrected version, or does that count as more than one submission?
•
•
hola! estoy por terminar mi historia en formato de comic y qiería saber en qué seccion debo poner "participar", desde ya muchas gracias :)
•
Is the canvas WEBTOON size? Can I do B4 size? I’ve never worked with WEBTOON, is the canvas manga or WEBTOON? What is the exact ratio you’d like us to use? Thank you
•
•I'm currently working on my submission with a canvas that is 800x 10000. Is this size compatible/work with the submission guidelines? @Artfol
•
•If I want to edit my submission after (if i want to flesh out the background art) would I have to remove my previous submission first or is there a way to edit
•
Hi. I'm news here. I want to take part in this content and I have one question. There is no problem what size of canva I'll use to draw If I choose the right maximum ratio? For example can I use canva 3000x9000, 2500x7500? I want to be sure to don't draw on wrong size ^^
•
•
Thanks for having this event! Finally submitted mine. I had so much fun. Best of luck to all participants.

Can I draw traditionally with a pen and a paper cuz I'm not familiar with digital art
•
Hi, I'm really excited to enter this competition! I was wondering if were allowed to submit a traditionaly drawn entry, e.g.: with pens and paint, or if our entries have to be done digitally?

•Hello Artfol Support Team,
I recently submitted my entry for the Global Comic Awards 2025 (Déjà Vu theme) contest. After reviewing my submission, I noticed a small typo in the text inside my comic page — I accidentally added an extra “t” in the word familiar.
I would like to ask:
Is there any way to edit or correct this typo in my submission without deleting and re-uploading the work?
If not, will such a minor mistake negatively affect my chances in the contest?
This is my only entry, and I want to make sure it fully complies with the contest rules. I’d really appreciate your guidance on how to proceed.
Thank you very much for your time and support.

•oooh, this is super cool! i unfortunately won't have time to participate, but i give my best wishes to everyone joining! and congrats artfol team! 
•
This looks cool! 
Maybe kind of a silly question, but if I already have CSP EX and I win, could I give the free trial to a friend? I've never participated in contests like this and I'm pretty much a noob with programs, so I don't know whether I'll have to share my CSP account to get it or I'll just receive a code or something

•I don't have any ideas that really work for this theme, so I won't be participating this time around but I wish all participants luck and inspiration! 
•
Can’t wait to take part!! Might be a silly question but is it allowed to go by a pen name?
•
•Whoa what!??? Let’s go artfol!
For people that don’t like putting personal information out there can we just go by my username and PayPaI? And if not, will our name be made public if we win?

•I have some questions regarding this challenge....
I'm guessing Its not necessary to use clip studio paint app only for the comic?
And we must submit it only on Artfol?
