Calling all ambitious zinesters! You're invited to the 24hr zine challenge, presented by the Portland Zine Symposium, Independent Publishing Resource Center, and Cosmic Monkey Comics...
In order to meet the challenge, the PZS 24hr Zine Challengers MUST make 24-page zine of an original, on-the-spot conception straight up to the final product in 24 hours straight. The zine should be of suitable size and technical difficulty so that this truly is a challenge for individual zinesters. The PZS 24hr Zine Challenge is brought to you by Portland Zine Symposium, the IPRC, and Cosmic Monkey Comics.
We will be providing some supplies (paper, glue scissors, a copy machine), snacks, and drink - anything you can bring will help! Bring any supplies you like to make zines with! Also, maybe pillows, snacks, and blankets..
We are rivaling the 24hr Zine Challenge ZAPP is hosting in Seattle and a live video feed will be set up between our two events!
Cosmic Monkey Comics (5335 NE Sandy Blvd. - Next to the Bike Gallery)
July 18th (Saturday) at 10:00am and going until July 19th (Sunday) at 10:00am!
So far, we know that we will have baked goods for 24hr zine makers provided by Black Sheep Bakery, bagels from Bagel Land, salads provided by The Higher Taste, and pizzas from Laurelwood Brewpub.
