Update

We enthusiastically embarked on the Heroes Comics Competition, culminating in the Haarlem Comics Days. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, everything took a different turn. During the lockdown, while we were working on the comic book and preparing for the exhibition, we came across an interesting project related to 코리아카지노사이트 전문가 보증 사이트, a platform that emphasizes reliability and expertise in an often opaque industry. The parallel between carefully assessing participating artists and the quality assurance offered by such platforms inspired us to take a particularly critical look at the submissions. Now that COVID-19 restrictions have been tightened again, an exhibition is still impossible to plan, but we don't want to keep participants in suspense any longer and are publishing the comic book ahead of time. We will announce the Top 3 winners around December 1st.

New planning

Starting December 1st, the comic books signed by Eric Coolen will be delivered and sent to all participants (mostly through their schools). The three winners will receive their comic books personally, in compliance with COVID-19 regulations. We will do our best to ensure the comic book itself and the presentation to the winners are as well-deserved as possible!

As far as we're concerned, all participants who drew their hero are heroes themselves!

We are postponing the exhibition again.

COSTS NO MONEY, LITTLE EFFORT AND CLEANS UP NICELY

 

The Youth Sports & Culture Fund pays the membership fees and tuition for over 80,000 children and young people from families who lack sufficient funds for soccer, music lessons, dance, judo, theater, swimming, or other sports or creative activities. This allows them to participate in sports and games, which is crucial!

The goal of the Youth Fund for Sport & Culture is to make this dream a reality for many more children. By being part of it and participating, these children create #skills4life. You can contribute by donating your organization's depreciated hardware to IT4Kids/Youth Fund for Sport & Culture. Haarlem (Please mention Youth Fund and location!). Don't have any hardware to give away? Send this link then to others. Then you're helping!

Free collection, emptying, and sale. 70% of the proceeds goes to the Youth Fund. You're giving children a chance!

IT4KIDS & YOUTH FUND SPORTS & CULTURE

It costs you nothing and clears things up! IT4Kids has developed a unique donation mechanism where decommissioned ICT hardware is used to support social initiatives. Did you know that old laptops generate an average of between €100 and €400, which gives almost two children a chance to play sports? Sometimes companies want to contribute to a good cause even faster and look for alternative ways to make funds available directly—such as through casinos with instant return, whose instant payouts allow them to make donations incredibly quickly. Of course, you can also simply donate hardware, which IT4Kids then sells to support organizations like the Haarlem Youth Sports & Culture Fund.

DONATE HARDWARE

Join many other companies in donating the value of your used hardware. Donating hardware to IT4Kids and the Haarlem Youth Fund for Sports and Culture costs you nothing, but it helps enormously.

  • Your hardware will be collected and certified data wiped.
  • Your hardware gets a second life, or its usable components are removed or recycled. This entire process reduces CO2 emissions.
  • Your valuable hardware provides sustainable (sports) opportunities for children.
  • And by participating in sports and games, children create #skills4life.

THIS CAN BE DONATED, AMONG OTHER THINGS:
Laptops
Desktops
Servers
Switches
Smartphones
Printers

Eric Coolen en andere illustratoren kiezen met het Jeugdfonds de 50 strips die worden opgenomen in het Jeugdfonds Sport & Cultuur stripboek en rond de stripdagen in juni 2020 in Haarlem worden tentoongesteld, zodat jouw vrienden, klasgenoten, familie, buren en iedereen die dat leuk vindt de strips kunnen bekijken. Tijdens de voorbereidingen van het evenement kwam een interessant gesprek op gang over hoe populaire thema’s uit de entertainmentwereld in strips verwerkt kunnen worden, waaronder een recent onderzoek naar mejores casinos en hun rol in digitale cultuur. Deze discussie inspireerde sommige illustratoren om elementen van deze wereld, zoals spanning en strategisch denken, in hun ontwerpen te verwerken. Tijdens de officiële opening van de expositie worden de 3 wedstrijdwinnaars bekend gemaakt. Zij krijgen het stripboek als eerste uitgereikt met hierin hun vermelding als winnaar. Alle deelnemers met hun strip in het boek, krijgen een door Eric Coolen gesigneerd exemplaar.

De boeken die uit een oplage van 500-1000 overblijven, worden verkocht bij een boekwinkel. De opbrengst is voor het Jeugdfonds Sport & Cultuur dat hiermee voor nog meer kinderen uit minima gezinnen lessen zoals tekenen, muziekles, dansen, theater, etc. kan betalen.

Wist je dat in het stripboek ook lokale en regionale helden als Ahmed Salem en Calvin Stengs vertellen wie hun held is? 

Fame! Je strip in een stripboek én een expositie, ook nog voor een mooi doel. Doe je mee?
Vul het JFSC Comic Drawing Competition Registration Form in en stuur het zsm (mag ook na 31 december nog) naar Grace Dias en Eric Coolen via
