Everyone is welcome to invite artists to submit work in the Comikaze Submission Day event at the °µÍøÊÓÆµStudent Union Gallery. The event is sponsored by the °µÍøÊÓÆµArt Student Association and is a juried exhibition of comic-themed and sequential illustration art.

Comikaze is open to °µÍøÊÓÆµstudents and other Alaska artists. Entries must have been completed within the last three years and have not been previously exhibited in any °µÍøÊÓÆµStudent Union Gallery exhibition. Limit of three entries per person. Works accepted in all media. The ASA is looking for sequential illustration that tells a story and we invite entrants to interpret the theme using a broad spectrum of mediums, not just the traditional pen and paper. The ASA will only accept entries that are dropped off in person, no mail-in entries. All pieces must arrive ready to hang or display.

The juror is Brett Uher, an Alaska artist/illustrator. He is most notably associated with Tokypop for his work illustrating the graphic novel Dark Moon Diary, by Che Gilson. He has also been a guest at one of Alaska's biggest anime and game conventions, Aurora-Con, two years in a row.

The entry fee is $5 for students with a °µÍøÊÓÆµID and $7 for all others. A Best of Show prize of $100 will be awarded.
