A total of 12 prizes are awarded

6 Social Media Prizes
We will let the public vote for their favorite drawing on Instagram from Monday, February 12, to Wednesday, February 21, 2:00 PM. Based on the number of "likes," the winners will receive 500CHF for the 1st place, 300CHF for the 2nd place, 200CHF for the 3rd place, 200CHF for the 4th place, 200CHF for the 5th place, and 120CHF for the 6th place.

6 Jury Prizes
Additionally, each submission will be judged by a panel. Winners selected by the jury will receive equivalent amounts to the social media prizes. The 1st place will receive 500CHF, the 2nd place 300CHF, the 3rd place 200CHF, the 4th place 200CHF, the 5th place 200CHF, and the 6th place 120CHF.

Prizes are doubled in case of placement in both the jury and public categories.

Note: Polymanga reserves the right to reject a submitted image (copy, eroticism, format, violence, etc.). In such cases, the participant has the right to submit a new one. A strong participation in My Bubble can weigh in your favor for the next artist selection at the festival.

The contest rules may be modified at any time by the organizer
