This year marks the 5th anniversary of Mad Cave Studios’ highly-anticipated annual talent search. For the first time, we’ve expanded our talent search to include two colorists and two letterers, along with two writers and two illustrators.
With submissions open to creators all across the globe, we are always blown away by the breadth of talent submitting. By running this talent search, our goal is to give aspiring creators the opportunity that many people can only dream of: having their work published! We’re incredibly grateful to every person who submitted their work for review.
And now, without further ado, we’d like to congratulate the eight winners of our fifth annual Talent Search!


Winning Artists: Ricardo Cecchi & Marco Tortella


Winning Letterers: Renato Quiroga & Andriy Lukin
Congratulations, again, to the winners of this year’s Talent Search! Stay tuned to see what our winners are up to and for announcements about their future projects with Mad Cave!
