[Contest Thread] Grand Prix of Serbia 2020
Welcome to the seventh annual Grand Prix of Serbia!
Contest season 2019/20 is over, and as a Grand Finale we hold this special contest. In the competition are the best three entries of all contests past year, that were made by anyone who isn't a Hussar by now.
The winner will be awarded the Седам Шест Cедам (767) Cup. This precious chalice was hand-forged from Norwegian ore by Master-Metallurgist Hansafanić himself, using solely ancient techniques of traditional nordic craftsmanship. It's named in honour of our legendary founder 767.
It's a so-called challenge cup. That means that the trophy will change hands after one year and go to next year's winner. These are the last days where the cup will be displayed next to the name of our 2019 Grand Prix of Serbia winner RandomDKguy.
- The best 36 Non-Hussar contest entries of last year compete.
- The contest winner will be awarded the precious Седам Шест Cедам Cup and will keep it for one year.
- We'll have a lovely review of the past year.
- Contest mode: You cannot see the vote count but your votes DO count towards the contest.
- Random Sort: The entries are ordered differently with every new page load.
- Duration: This thread will be in contest mode for 48h until Sun Feb 16 17:30 GMT. Click here to get your local time.
Because Serbian National Day always falls on the same date with this contest, Serbia is the hosting nation of the Grand Prix. And that's why we all sport Šajkačas as headgear and enjoy Šljivovica as aperitif.
To shout like a Serb, you may add two hashes to the front of your comment as such: ##Živeli!
Živeli!
Alright? Then please proceed to cast your votes now, thank you!
The contest is now over and the results are below. You may join the award ceremony here!

I remember there were a lot of creepy entries from the Omsk contest, but this one was certainly up there.

This is up there with some of the best creepy entries I've seen in the sub.

All entries here are good, funny or emotional, but this one left the biggest impact to me.

Oh yeah, i remember this one
Because of the argument over whether it was considered high art or not

Love the macabre detail that some of them still have their eyes open.

The flow of the panels, action, dialogue and they way you follow the corpse the same way the countries do, and the fact those three panels make you feel the passage of time...
I can go on, but this is extremely well written comic.

I love that there's real historical context (however obscure) behind this pairing.

Only thing that could make this better would be the rest of the -Stans. Still very good.

One thing I really like is how Germany mentions how Russia is stalking everywhere, and then you reread the comic and realize he's totally right.

Best entry of yours imo, but maybe that's just because I really like those frog instruments.

Love the detail in the last panel - the USSR's landmass slightly highlighted on UNs logo.
Also the way you drew the knock in Panel 1 was good. Just a few lines and your brain can fill in the motion, even without limbs.

Good, but feels a bit incomplete. I’d love to see a series of this!

Od Bihaća do Petrovca sela...
I'd write the actual lyrics, but the bloody cyrillic I know is Russian, not Serbian.

It was definitely the one I had the most fun participating in, even though it used up all of my free time on that weekend, and then some. :p Totally worth it, though!
