We're back!

The festival ended a long time ago but only now we are finishing all the calculations and reports. Almost 10 000 people visited the International Festival of Comics and Games this year... Thank you everyone! The winners of the 2009 Grand Prix are Jacek Frąś (artwork) and Grzegorz Janusz (story), for their comics 'Ostra biel'. Soon we will show you the full photo documentation from the memorable October weekend in Łódź.

We were also pretty busy with other projects, like the AdDays festival, where the Polish advertising industry had a chance to meet and look for new creative talents among young artits.

We also organized the Polish comics exhibition in Amadora, Portugal during their comics event: Festival Internacional de BD (Oct 23 - Nov 8). The organizng team was accompanied by artists Zbigniew Kasprzak - 'Kas' and Grażyna Fołtyn-Kasprzak - 'Graza'. Click here to see the photos from Amadora BD.
