Animate Europe

From 75 to 7: Our „Re-Animate Europe Finalists“

From personifications of the mythical Europe, from stories of refugees and migration to tales about European art and culture – we were overwhelmed by the record number of entries for our “Re-Animate Europe” comic competition. By our deadline in early February we received 75 entries from 24 different countries.  Our expert jury surely didn’t have an easy job selecting our seven finalists. In the end, however, they found consensus and agreed on the following artists (in alphabetical order): Jordana Globerman (UK): “My Uncle’s Dream” Find her here: http://www.jordanagloberman.com/ Stefan Haller (Switzerland): “Back to the Grass Roots” Find him here: http://www.stefanhaller.ch/illu/comic1.html Štepánka Jislová (Czech Republic): “How to Save the World” Find her here: http://www.jislova.com/ Noelle Kröger (Germany): “There’s a Way” Find her here: https://noellekroeger.tumblr.com/ Magdalena Kaszuba (Germany): “Spaziergang durch Europa/ A Walk Through Europe” Find her here: http://magdalenakaszuba.blogspot.de/ Davide Pascutti (Italy): “The CreatEUre” Find him here: http://davidepascutti.deviantart.com/ Paul Rietzl (Germany): “A Dream of Europe” Find him here: http://www.paulrietzl.de/website/pages/page_start.html The seven finalist were now asked to send in their full eight-page comic story. End of May, our jury will meet once more to determine the winner of this years’ competition. We’re more than looking forward to getting our hands on the completed stories – and finding out who has the most convincing story of how to “Re-Animate Europe”!
