From The Last of the Polar Bears website: Create a Comic for Conservation – Help the Polar Bears Through Creativity
In her new role as global wildlife guardian, Lindsay Cibos, creator of The Last of the Polar Bears has teamed up with Wildlife Warriors to host an international comic competition for kids and teens in support of Polar Bears International and the Arctic Documentary Project.
Entrants are invited to submit a one-page comic inspired by Arctic wildlife! The winner will receive a character cameo in The Last of the Polar Bears side-story, an original illustration by Lindsay, The Last of the Polar Bears Pre-Dawn book, and a PBI polar bear adoption kit!
The competition encourages participants to ‘Explore the Arctic’, discovering the beauty and fragility of this endangered ecosystem and develop an understanding and appreciation for the amazing diversity of animals it supports. Comprised of three parts (inspiration, research and creation) the competition includes a tutorial by Lindsay (featured in the May/June 2012 issue of Bare Essentials – free to access and download), supportive resources that link to our conservation partners and the creation of a comic character based on Arctic wildlife.
