The BDFIL Caran d’Ache Prize 2025 is a prominent international competition that aims to celebrate and support rising talent in the comic arts scene. Organized by BDFIL, the distinguished international comics festival held each year in Lausanne, Switzerland, the prize provides a vital opportunity for emerging artists worldwide to present their work to a global audience. Participants are invited to craft a compelling visual narrative contained within a single-panel illustration — a creative challenge that demands both artistic skill and strong storytelling ability. The 2025 edition introduces the theme "Working Blues," encouraging artists to delve into the emotional landscape of professional life. Whether illustrating the complexities of demanding careers, the struggles of workplace dynamics, or the amusing quirks of office culture, contestants are encouraged to express the multifaceted nature of modern work. This competition not only recognizes artistic talent but also fosters meaningful reflections on contemporary social experiences, making it a significant platform for creative expression and cultural dialogue.
