Whatcomics 2026

Whatcom County teens are invited to submit their 2-D art to be considered for publication in Whatcomics 2026, our teen art book. The rules are simple: live in Whatcom County, be a 6th-12th grader, and submit your original artwork on or before October 31, 2026. We encourage all artistic styles, including drawing, painting, collage, comics and doodles. Due to copyright issues, fan art, AI-generated art, or art based on the work of other artists are not permitted.

To submit, upload your artwork on our website at wcls.org/whatcomics or drop off your work at any public library. Accepted artists receive a copy of the book to keep. We'll host a special celebration at the Lynden Library in January. Grades 6-12.
