2) Bring your original Captain Four Color drawings to Flying Colors for contest submission, starting April 16, 2018. Entries will only be accepted in person in-store at Flying Colors.

3) Each contestant must completely fill out a contest registration form. Incomplete and incorrect entry forms will lead to disqualification from this contest.

5) Contestants agree to have their original art displayed in-store at Flying Colors and on Flying Colors social media.

6) Limited to one original art entry per person, please!

7) Get creative! Your Captain Four Color contest entry can be a single image, it can be a joke panel or a multi-panel comic page with many characters. Feature Contra Costa area landmarks, like Mount Diablo! Feel free to use images of the Flying Colors' logo and store, too.
8) You may also use well-known copyrighted comic book characters in your original art, but you cannot use your own original characters. Entries with original characters will be disqualified.
