Introducing: Adventures with Bentley (A Fresno County Public Library Webcomic)

Between meeting so many people at the library and community events he attends, hanging out with his mascot buddies, and taking on new hobbies, Bentley, the Library dog is definitely one busy pooch—but he’s always up for another adventure!

Where would you like to take him?

We invite local artists/illustrators, and writers, of all ages and experience levels to contribute comics for the Library’s new webcomic series, “Adventures with Bentley.” If you’d like to participate, please follow these guidelines:
  • Hand-drawn comics must be brought or mailed to one of the Fresno County Public Library branches, accompanied by a signed creative release. Digitally-rendered comics can be submitted using our webform.
  • Comics must measure 8 ½” x 11” or smaller.  Use our comic templates, or generate your own, within these parameters.
  • Each submission must consist of your own creative and original work. Collaborations between two or more individuals are welcome, but all creators must be credited on the comic.
  • Computer generated images will be accepted, as long as they are your original work (no clipart).
On a monthly basis (starting March 2017), a comic will be selected by random draw from among all eligible entries received and featured on Fresno County Public Library’s Kids’ blog. Odds of selection depend on the number of qualified entries received. Eligible entries not selected during a particular month will be entered into the following month’s drawing.

Creators of comics showcased on the blog will be awarded a small prize chosen by the Library.

Disclaimers:

By entering the contest, participating artists and writers permit the library to use their work and any associated identification (e.g. name) for Library advertising and publicity purposes.
This contest is in no way sponsored, administered, or associated with any social media or blogging platform. By submitting their creative work, individuals confirm they release these sites of responsibility for outcomes of participation.

Any prizes that a participant is awarded must be accepted as is. No cash alternatives, substitution, or transfers of the prize will be permitted. Prizes must be picked up at a Fresno County Public Library branch selected by the winner. A prospective winner will be required to provide Fresno County Public Library with his/her name, library card number and telephone or email address for purposes of determining eligibility and prize administration.

Fresno County Public Library is entitled to interpret these rules as required and its decision is final.
