As you may or may not know, Sonic the Hedgehog's 15th anniversary is coming! The first release of Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Genesis was on June 23rd, 1991, and to celebrate, me and the fine folks from SonicVerse Team, the online Sonic comic depository, are putting on a hosting contest to celebrate!

This may be short notice, but we've developed a contest that everyone can participate in, with a sweet payoff to boot! All you need to do is:

Draw a one-page or two-page comic about Sonic: either the character, the franchise, how you got into the games, or why you're still a fan to this day.

It can be coloured or black and white, and be composed any way you want, as long as it's a comic. Just make sure it has your name on the pages, so you get the credit you deserve, and hand them in before the deadline: June 14th, 2006. This way it can be edited and compiled by the anniversary date of June 23th.

The fifteen best entries (15 for the 15th, get it?) will be compiled together and posted as a special commemoration for SonicVerse Team's online comic section.

This contest is open to all Sonic fans, not just the ones from this site and SVT, so if you know of any talented artists who would like to contribute, let them know!

Good luck!
