“RICH” FUMETTO COMIC COMPETITION 2025

Application Opens: 1 December, 2024; Deadline: 31 December, 2024

LOCATION: Switzerland

This year Fumetto is collecting stories around the topic of wealth under the title “RICH”: What does wealth look like? Who is rich? People don’t talk about money. But: What you can’t talk about, you should draw about! Or is it ultimately not about money at all? But about abundant health, love and time? Are the inconspicuous little moments the ones that contain the wealth of an entire universe, or are our experiences and emotions the true mark of wealth?
