Prove You're a Proof Freak
Proving anything takes a lot. Conviction, evidence and a good case are the first things that come to mind. Being a comic named Proof might be one shortcut, but owning said comic doesn't prove anything. Omnicomic would like to call Image Comics to the stand to help you prove you really like Proof.
What Image Comics wants to see from you is photographic proof that you're a fan of the comic with the same name. You have until 12:00 PM on April 1, 2009 (April Fool's Day no less) to create a scene that shows you're commitment to the series. Send in a picture of said commitment to letterstoproof@gmail.com, and you could be looking at a bounty of Proof goodies. The top ten entries will be published in Proof, with the second runner up receiving a copy of Proof #1 signed by Grecian and the first runner up receiving an original sketch by Rossmo.
The Grand Prize winner will be drawn into Proof as a Victorian-era circus freak, created using their name and likeness, and will receive a page of art from the issue they appear in! In addition, those entries done in conjunction with their local comic book shop will also award their store with a signed copy of Proof #1 and an original page of Proof art.
As far as contests go, this one is pretty straightforward. Granted, you have to be able to prove you're creative, but come on; you read comics. Creativity should not be an issue.
Full press release below.
