We received 126 super cool submissions. They really were so good, and it was a blast selecting the mix of twelve for the June issue. From Anorak Magazine and us here at DA, thank you all for participating.

Congratulations to Patrick O'Leary, Sarah Mazzetti, Cynthia Bataille, Tahra Morton, Vincent Kilbride, Calico Melton, Justin Butts, Tsz Wan, Fiona Biddington, Lottie Pencheon, Elena Lombardi and Abel Jimenez -- your artwork will be published in this coming June's issue!

See full size!

Back in 2009 I described Anorak Magazine as "the happy, colorful, illustrated, quirky, character-filled, page-turning, content-driven mag for everyone," but they simply call themselves "the happy mag for kids." Happy being the key word here, and this summer Doodlers Anonymous is going to help them spread some of that joy around.

How you ask? Anorak is committing 6 pages of their June issue to your illustrations, with each page featuring two images, so that's a total of 12 artists getting some nice attention and love from us all (not to mention a free issue of course). We have only 3 guidelines for your participation: (1) Your art must be black and white, so kids can choose to color it in (2) It must be horizontal (in other words landscape mode), so we can easily fit two on a page (3) Your illustration must be themed FAVORITE SPORTS, but of course invented and imaginary sports are welcomed too.

Deadline is April 25th. Get drawing and submit your artwork to sports{at}doodlersanonymous{dot}com. The team at Anorak and DA will pick the final selection of twelve. Good luck to everyone and follow us on Twitter or Facebook for updates along the way.
