The BDFIL Caran d’Ache Prize 2025 offers an exciting opportunity for aspiring comic artists to gain international recognition and develop their creative voices. Hosted annually by BDFIL, the acclaimed international comics festival based in Lausanne, Switzerland, this competition is dedicated to discovering and promoting new talent in the comic arts world. Open to emerging creators from across the globe, the contest encourages participants to demonstrate their storytelling skills by creating an original, impactful narrative within a single-panel illustration. For 2025, the competition's theme is "Working Blues," inviting artists to reflect on the challenges, frustrations, and sometimes humorous realities of working life. Whether depicting the grind of office routines, the emotional toll of professional struggles, or moments of unexpected joy in everyday labor, participants are encouraged to explore this theme with creativity and insight. By taking part in this prestigious event, emerging artists gain an invaluable chance to connect with established creators, engage with international audiences, and potentially launch their careers in the world of comics.
