In Seattle for 2012: Solo Performance at the Sorrento Hotel
I, Henry Chamberlain, have hosted 24 Hour Comics Day events before. This year is different. I am striking out on my own and doing a solo performance, if you will, at the Sorrento Hotel in Seattle. This is a beautiful landmark hotel dating back to 1909. It will be my pleasure and honor to participate in this year's event from the Sorrento. It will be a low-key thing. I have booked my room. I will be a guest of the hotel and I will be reporting back to you throughout the event. You can find some more details here. This event is sponsored by Comics Dungeon, a totally awesome comics shop in Seattle with a wide selection of merchandise including amazing deals on collectible comics.

UK Comic Competition
A printing company in the UK is running a competition for comic book creators. This isn't a 24-Hour Comics Day event, but we though 24HCD participants might be interested in the details:
-------
Print Express love designers, artists and everyone creative - and we're running a competition for up and coming comic book artists to help showcase their work. If you send us your comic we'll pick a winner from our favourite entries and produce a small number of professionally printed comic books - enough for you and some friends, or for your portfolio.
To enter, email your comic as a PDF to comics@printexpress.co.uk. As ever, there are some rules - which you can find in detail here.
Print Express are a UK printing company who specialise in high quality print & delivery.
Alex Black
Marketing & Design
------
Note from Amanda: we aren't affiliated with this contest, so please contact Print Express with any questions.
(24-Hour Comics Day doesn't have an official contest for participants, but individual hosts may set up their own. Completed 24-Hour Comics Day books can be included in the national archive, though! We'll post more details for that as we approach the event date, October 20th.)
