24HCD Registration is live!

We have a new site for 24-Hour Comics Day!

You can register now to be an official host venue or to take the challenge as an online participant (online participants are individuals who aren't going to a host venue to take the challenge--they're going to do the 24 pages and upload them as they go over the 24 hours).

Once the Event Locator is live, event hosts will be able to log into the site and fix and update their event listings!

As we get closer to the event, more content will be available for official hosts when they log in.

If you have questions or problems with registration, please contact us! 24hcd @ comicspro.org
