In a post on his official website , comic book industry lightning rod Rob Liefeld has announced a new contest which can result in him drawing your 5-6 page short story. The only catch is that it's got to be one of Liefeld's characters -- but the winning story will be published in an upcoming issue of Bloodstrike or Youngblood.

Step 1 – Write a short story featuring one of my EXTREME CHARACTERS. the story MUST BE EXTREME CHARACTERS ONLY. You are submitting a brief few paragraph’s pitching your idea for a short 5-6 page story.



Step 2 – HIT THE BUTTON. Here on this web site, to the right is a button that says CONTACT ME! This will send your story to my attention.



Step 3 – Wait to be contacted. I will choose 3 winners, 1 every few weeks starting March 6th, 2013. If your pitch is chosen you will be given a work for hire agreement to sign in order to participate.



Step 4 – Submission agreement. Click link below.



EXTREME TALENT CONTEST SUBMISSION FORM



I have the absolute highest regard for creators and for the ownership of original properties, and this agreement should in no way be misconstrued as license for us to appropriate your creations. This agreement protects Rob Liefeld from any liabilities involving coincidental similarities to works-­‐in-­‐progress or other submissions.

5. GOOD LUCK!

The rules are pretty simple. According to Liefeld:If your life-long dream is to have Liefeld render your words, then get cracking. Also, read the submissions agreement carefully -- the only reward you'll get from this is Liefeld drawing your story, as he's not obligated to give you any further compensation -- so take that into consideration.Go forth and discuss.
