CATDOLL: Over 100 entries in the first college student original mobile cartoon competition

The first college student original mobile cartoon competition has entered the final stage of the audition and submission stage. There are 20 days left until the audition ends on November 25, and the number of new submissions released daily is on the rise. The organizing committee of the competition has received submissions from all over the country, including hand-painted four-frame comics and full-color digital drawings; daily sketches and long-form masterpieces; the contestants include students majoring in animation, film and television, as well as students majoring in other majors and who love painting. Each story can show the contestant's wild imagination or love of life.

As of noon on November 5, there were 107 entries. The competition in Beijing was fierce and the works were controversial, while the Wuhan and Guangzhou competition areas had a high chance of advancing.

There were 47 works from Beijing, and the competition was the most intense. The "Longsha Chronicles" from Beijing Normal University, which was based on the history of Ning'an's anti-Russian war, ranked first, and the full-color hand-painted comic "The Bond of the Fox" from Hebei Academy of Fine Arts, which was controversial for plagiarism, ranked second. The "Police Academy Student Ada" from the People's Public Security University of China, which was wildly forwarded on WeChat Moments and reflected the funny daily life of police academy students, ranked third.

Currently, other works with great hopes of advancing to the next round in the Beijing region include "Naka" from China University of Mining and Technology, "Four Colors☆HQLT☆" from Northeastern University, and "Silent Oath" from Beijing Normal University.

The number of entries from the Guangzhou and Wuhan competition zones is relatively the least, and each entry has a great chance of advancing to the next stage.

Looking at the national entries, other outstanding works that received high votes include "I Want to Show You the World in My Eyes" from Northwest Normal University, "Actresses' Records" from Fujian University of Technology, "If Li Qi Was Still Alive" from Nanjing University of Finance and Economics, "TA" and "The Ghost Girl" from Xiamen University of Technology, and "Am I the Way You Want Me to Be" from Shanxi Datong University.
