PCAF Stories Kids is BACK, and this year we’re on the hunt for friendship in the wild and wonderful universe of comics! Get ready for big laughs, awesome stories, unexpected surprises and a whole lot of comic-book fun!
PCAF, in association with the Musée de la Bande Dessinée, is very proud to announce that the inaugural WA comics-artist residency in Brussels is awarded to Alicia Rutigliano!
Everyone has waited on bated breath… give it up for our our official Silly Billy winners (aka Silly Billy Winnies) as announced at the PCAF Exhibitors’ Afterparty!
What are the Silly Billies, I hear you ask? Only the silliest, most trivial, most inconsequential comic awards this side of the equator! Silly categories include “The Best Rendering of a Butt” and “The Sparkliest Anime Eyes”. Nominations were made on Market Day at this year’s PCAF to our roving judges.
Do you make comics for kids?
Would you like to share your comics with a live audience of young comic fans?
PCAF Stories is looking for new presenters for Kids PCAF Stories, happening Sunday the 1st of November at the State Library Theatre. If you’re based in WA, or you’ll be in Boorloo for the event, we’d love to see what you make!
Love what we do? Consider donating to support the Perth Comic Arts Festival. Donations to this fundraiser will be used to sustain the ongoing operation of the PCAF Market Hall, ensuring it remains free to attend for visitors and accessible to independent artists, as well as provide future opportunities for local comic makers. Donations made via our fundraising page on the Australian Cultural Fund are tax-deductible.
Next year we’ll be celebrating 10 years of the Perth Comic Arts Festival from July 12th to 18th! PCAF 2027 will be loaded with all of your favourite programming like Academy Day, Market Hall, Deep Dive Workshops, Look Hear, an exciting new Exhibition and a new edition of TALE TOWN.
In addition, we’re excited to reveal that the 2027 Festival will also feature an Academic Comic Symposium and an International Comic Publishing Rights Market.
