Comics Pitching brings artists and publishers together. Oulu Comics Center organizes an opportunity for comic book artists to introduce their ideas and projects to a jury which consists of representatives of numerous publishing houses. Comics Pitching is a live event (no remote connections) and a part of Oulu Comics Festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comics Pitching is an one-of-a-kind possibility to get new contacts and to get direct feedback from professional publishers of the comic book industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The jury members are Vesa Kataisto <\/strong>(T\u00e4ysi K\u00e4si), Petteri Oja<\/strong> (Zum Teufel), and Vesa Vitikainen<\/strong> (Musta ritari \/ Kevyt metalli). The discussion is facilitated by Oulu Comics Center Director Harri Filppa<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each participating artist has exactly 5 minutes to introduce their project. In the presentation, the participants must use a slideshow in which the slides will change automatically every 15 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
