International Competition of fanzines made by children and teenagers 2026

The NCCF prize

This is the 8th edition of the major international fanzine contest for children and teens! Created by Formula Bula and Éditions de L’Articho, the NCCF Award has been celebrating self-publishing by young people since 2019 🎉.

Taking part couldn’t be easier: all you need is one or more ideas, some paper, something to draw or write with, a little imagination, and a touch of mischief. A few staples, and you’re all set! ✂️📄

The prize: a €50 gift card to buy comics and your favorite cake, to be enjoyed at a snack party held after the awards ceremony on September 27 at the Formula Bula festival 🍰🏆.

This year, the grand jury will be chaired by Marion Fayolle, illustrator, comic book author, and writer.
