December 11, 2014: Montegrappa Celebrates DC Heroes & Villains Pen Set Release with Art Contest

MONTEGRAPPA CELEBRATES NEW DC HEROES & VILLAINS COLLECTION WITH ART CONTEST ASKING FANS TO PUT PEN TO PAPER. PRIZES INCLUDE A DC HEROES & VILLAINS PEN SET, SELECT DC PENS, AND ARTISTS HAVING THEIR ORIGINAL ART PROFESSIONALLY FEATURED BY MONTEGRAPPA.

To celebrate the launch of the new DC Heroes & Villains pen line, Montegrappa invites comic fans from across the globe to compete in a special art contest using pen and ink to draw their favorite DC superheroes and supervillains.

Not only will artists get the chance to win collectible pens from the new DC Heroes & Villains line, but top-voted submissions will also be featured exclusively on the Montegrappa website and newsletter.

“A long line of truly talented comic book artists have made iconic DC superheroes and villains like Batman, the Joker, Wonder Woman, Superman, and Catwoman jump off the page right into our imaginations,” comments Elmo & Montegrappa CEO Giuseppe Aquila. “We want to give new and emerging artists the chance for their original artwork to be seen. This contest is an opportunity for artists to make their favorite DC characters come alive.”

The special DC-inspired art contest offers an excellent opportunity for artists of all kinds to have their illustrations featured by a global luxury and lifestyle brand. The Montegrappa DC Heroes & Villains collection features Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, as well as Batman rogues Joker, Catwoman, Penguin, and Riddler. Two winners will be selected from a group of eight finalists selected by Montegrappa. Contest details are included below in this post...
