For a look at last year's signup e-mail details, see: please have a look at this.

FYI: This year's rules may be modified to take in suggestions from last year's participants.

Only rule 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, and 11 are set in stone, consider everything else as a guideline.

  1. The 24 hours run continuously, you must stop 24 hours after starting.
  2. Preparation can include the organising of resources, tools, food, music, etc but can not include designs, sketches, story notes or plots.
  3. Entries should be preferably 24 pages long. However, if this is not be possible, consider joining forces with a friend or someone from Pulp Faction to produce 24 pages. Otherwise we will accept entries between 8 and 23 pages.
  4. There are no restrictions to format or materials used or how the final comic is presented.
  5. Artistic ability is not a necessity; previous entries have used photos, images captured from computer games, stick figures and postcards.
  6. There will be a three random items/words which will need to be included, these will be posted here and on the Pulp Faction board the morning of the Challenge.
  7. You should use the random words/items in your story (in text or visually).
  8. In terms of content, there is a General audience and Adult Audience section. The organisers of the challenge reserve the right to reject any entry which in their opinion may: a) bring the nature of the contest into question; b) be potentially libelious, inciteful, or illegal under Australian law; or c) overly explicit or distasteful. Please remember this is about having fun, not trying to shock people!'
  9. Entries are to be uploaded or linked to Pulp Faction forum thread, but other alternatives can be arranged by contacting an organiser prior to the challenge's commencement.
  10. Only Australian Residents are eligible for prizes but International particpants are welcome to join in.
  11. Only Pulp Faction members who register before the challenge ends and voting begins
    are eligible to vote so register.
  12. Participants must have fun and create.
