Economic Comic Contest
The Economic Comic Contest was
introduced in 2011 as an opportunity
for people to illustrate the creative
side of economics. It allowed entrants
to showcase their wit and creativity
by creating a single-panel cartoon (as
per the New Yorker) or a multi-panel
comic (such as Calvin and Hobbes), in
colour or black and white, that examined
an economic principle in a unique or
humourous way. We received 102 entries.
The winners were:
1st Prize ($500)
Rachel Tilcock, White Rock, BC
Emily Carr University, Communications
and Design, 2014
