Gentletude Comic Award 2014

The comic is an art, like a painting, a poem, a novel or any artistic composition that is used to express a condition, internal or external, of the artist. At first it was considered a hybrid between writing and image, something halfway between cinema, literature and design, then it spreads the name of this art: Sequential Art. This has become in the last century a form of communication absolutely original that uses the icon to represent reality, but also to interpret it. The 2014 award wants to invite to produce a new reality that is imbued with kindness, attention and care towards others, the environment and the planet.
The prize is intended to encourage to be creative, challenging a concept known and often not adopted: Kindness.
