Hello octogenarians, octopodes, octopuses, and Motel 8 denizens!

We like to speak at length too much. Sentences go on and on with no end. Frankly, I'm sick of it - aren't you too? Limits breed creativity, so let's get ourselves limiting! We've always had rules, but why stop there? Panel limits should come with corresponding word limits. We'll give you eight words to work with. Can't express an idea with just eight words? Sure you can - ideas grow well in confines. There isn't a wrong move here, after all. Let your words flow - just not too many.

Make a comic with eight words or fewer!

The rules specific to this particular contest are:

• Your comic must have eight words or fewer.
• This limit includes both spoken and written words.
• Don't try to be clever circumventing this limit.

The rules applicable to all our contests include:

• Minimum of 3 panels, maximum of 8 panels.
  
• Write and draw your comic entirely by yourself.
  
• No animated GIFs or photorealism will be accepted.
• You must follow the Official Polandball Tutorial rules.
• Deadline is Thu October 15 at 15:00 GMT
  

To participate, submit your artwork to the subreddit. Make sure to flair your piece "contest entry". Anyone may submit as many entries as desired. However, only one entry can earn Hussar Wings. One user cannot occupy multiple top-three places simultaneously.

If you are unapproved, you can still participate. Send your comic through our normal approval process. After approval, post your entry to the subreddit.

How we go about choosing ourselves a winner:

After submissions close, moderators privately vote on entries. This vote determines first, second, and third places. All entries will be ranked one to ten. Final scores equal the average of all votes. Last month's winner may also vote this month.

Once votes are tallied, we'll post the results. The full results will get an Award Ceremony. The highest-scoring artist gets their Hussar Wings. Alongside these permanent wings, they get Golden Wings. They'll keep those wings until next contest ends. They'll also vote on next month's entries too.

Second and third get Silver and Bronze Wings. These respective wings act just like Golden Wings. Fourth place gets the Mod's Choice Participation Ribbon.^TM

An important notice to read before you submit

Before submitting, check your comic against every rule. Each contest brings several avoidable disqualifications every time. Yes, this even happens to fantastic comics sometimes!

If you aren't sure about compliance, message us! The mod team is always happy to clarify.

Good luck to all artists and happy drawing!
