More stupid Questions  :o
Does my custom figure have to be Canadian? Please do not ban me for asking this! The figure heads I have to use look more Aussie then Canadian.  I guess I can say he was born in Australia then move to Canada?


Canada is full of people who have come here from other countries.

Just because he wasn't born here, doesn't mean he's not Canadian

i think I'm going to make it one JC and the Cobra-Canada vehicle.



You should choose 1 of those to be the primary focus.

the character'll be the focus, the vehicle more of a McGuffin

I'm almost done my one of my figures. The other I'm just going to put in the customs section. I'm not sure who I am going to enter in this contest my Cobra or my Joe? Would you guys consider making the winners character apart of the Canadian Joecon figure set this year?

Not a chance. This years Con set is already being finalized and has begun assembly. Sorry.

I have an idea for two characters, who would constitute a "team" ( or a duo), correct? And their bio would be a summation of who they are as a team?? Or do I have to specific one over the other?




Could I make a request to the legalities of the contest?  In addition to the prize for winning, could a stipulation be placed that the winners name ( a "created by......be attached to the creation for all uses henceforth? Also any submitters gain the same privilege IF their work is used in latter material?
This would grant the winner some nice bragging rights, and sweeten the deal for participants even if they do not win.

Including your info with the character each time it's used most likely isn't going to happen. 
You will get credit, in the ORDER OF BATTLE section of the annual CanJoeCon Comic that comes with the con set should this character become a full fledged "Joe Canuck used" character. In the 2009 one, whoever did the bio for each character had it marked as so. Example : Larry Hama - Snowbank, Chacal Noir. Ryan Costello Jr. - Back-Stop, etc.

If you need something to sweeten the deal, then maybe this contest isn't for you? I think the prizes are pretty cool in themselves... a bunch of Joe Toys, and your creation in one of our comics. You'll obviously get the credit in the comic - so that alone should be "sweet" enough. ;-)

As a pro cartoonist, you'll have to colour me a little bit "sensitive" about "work for hire" stipulations, contest or not.

I had to ask.

Fully understandable, and a good question. ;-)
Obviously, if you're supplying art, sign it in some way - we'll leave it in there.

This contest sounds really cool. I'll have to juggle around some ideas in my head, since I'm not giving up any of my actual OCs to you guys. :p


Wonder if the character will be turned into a future CanJoeCon exclusive...

Same issue with me. I don't want to just "give away' any of my originals but 'm sure I can come up with something to submit.

You know... I'll sweeten this thing even more for you guys.

If your character becomes a future CanJoeCon exclusive figure, we'll give you that years con set for free.
