MoComCon Returns to MCPL This March!
MoComCon is back for a TWO DAY event happening on Saturday, March 22nd and Sunday March 23rd! MoComCon 2025 Art and Essay contests also return as part of our celebration of all things comics, graphic novels, and fandoms! Both contests open Monday, January 6th and close at 5pm on Monday, February 24th.
What is the MoComCon Art Contest?
Combine your love of art and fandoms by entering MoComCon’s 2025 Art contest! Create artwork of your favorite character from any fandom, book, television show, movie, game, or invent your own original character!
Child (Grades 3-8), Teen (Grades 9-12), and Adult (Ages 19+).
What is the MoComCon Essay Contest?
If you love to write, then MoComCon’s essay contest is for you!
Write an essay, using the following prompt: Sell your fandom! In this essay, imagine you get on an elevator and are heading to your favorite comic convention. You have the length of the elevator ride to convince your fellow riders to come to the convention with you. In your essay: 1) tell them about your fandom, 2) why you like your fandom and, 3) recommend some of your favorite characters, authors, books, etc. that would help a new fan explore your fandom.
Essay Contest is split into three age groups:
Child (Grades 3-5), Middle School (Grades 6-8), and Teens & Adult (Grade 9+).
Entry forms for both the art and essay contests must be included with all submissions and all submissions must be submitted electronically. Contest finalists and winners will be notified by email or phone prior to MoComCon.
