For the Sketchcards Meet & Trade and Sketchcards Scavenger Hunt, look us up on the 8th / 9th of September at STGCC 2018. We thank STGCC for this unique opportunity, and hope that SCC members attending STGCC will enjoy the Sketchcards Meet & Trade and Sketchcards Scavenger Hunt.

We would also very much like to thank SGToy Display for their kind sponsorship of Glass Display Cabinets to provide the best showcase possible for this year's exhibition.

We would like to also acknowledge the passionate and talented artists who contributed their time and creativity to produce the sketchcards for this event. We welcome others who would like to participate to join us.

Live Sketch Sessions will be held at pre-scheduled times at STGCC 2018. The setting will be informal, upclose and personal, where you get to learn how to create your own sketchards, using different techniques and media, from experienced sketchcard artists.

The video above shows local professional artist, Kelvin Chan, demonstrating his drawing techniques live.

Art scavenger hunts have been a fun fan activity at several conventions, from SDCC to Baltimore Comic Con. The popularity of such events has even drawn celebrity involvement, such as the Henry Cavill led giveaway at Ace Comic Con in Long Island.

The Scavenger Hunt, as the name suggests, will involve participants tracking down sketchcards strategically hidden in the STGCC hall by the artists who drew them or the organisers of this event. The clues on where sketchcards could be found will be posted on a Sketchcards Scavenger Hunt thread in the SCC Facebook group. More information will be provided on the thread.

Sketchcards Scavenger Hunt Rules

1. The scavenger hunt is generally limited to public areas of the STGCC Exhibition hall; Such as the main stage, the cosplay spotlight, the walk of fame, etc. However, there are places outside of public areas where some sketchcards can be found; such as within participating comics shops booths and artists‘ tables in the Artist Alley;
2. Clues to the location of the cards will be posted on a thread on Singapore Comics Community Facebook Group. Clues come in the form of photos and a password: 1. Indicates the whereabouts of the card, and 2. Exactly where the card could be found in that particular location. 3. A password will also be given for clues pertaining to the Artists Alley, Comic Shop Booths or on a Cosplayer;
3. Public Areas: Straight forward search and find, no middle-person involved.
   Artist Alley: Once you have located the artists’ booth or table, simply ask him / her for the sketch-card after giving the password. Unlike in public areas, you don’t have to search his / her booth. If someone had already taken the card from the artist, thank him / her and move on to your next clue.
   Comic Shop Booths: Once you have found the booth, simply ask the person-on-duty for the sketch-cardafter giving the password. Unlike in public areas, you don’t have to search the booth. If some-one had already taken the card from the person-on-duty, thank him / her and move on to your next clue.
   Cosplayers: When you have found the cosplayer, simply ask him / her for the sketchcard after giving the password. If someone had already taken the card from the cosplayer, thank him / her and move on to your next clue;
4. The sketchcards are FREE. You are not required to spend any money on the sketchcards in this scav-enger hunt;
5. Sketchcards hunters should be polite and respectful to rival hunters, to participating artists in the Artists Alley, to participating cosplayers, to participating comic shops as well as to other STGCC attendees whether or not they are involved in the sketchcards scavenger hunt;
6. IMPORTANT NOTE: At booths / tables in the Artists Alley, Sketchcards Hunters should not get overly exited and accidentally mess up the artist’s art products. Out of courtesy, do stay a while to check-out the items for sale before leaving his / her booth / table, and if you see anything you like, you may purchase it to support the artist. This goes the same for participating Comic Shop Booths;
7. No harassing of participating artists from Artist Alley or cosplayers. It is their right to choose not to surrender the sketchcards to you should you be rude to them;
8. No breaking of rules. Always play fair. Don’t let your competitive instincts drive you to ruin other people’s chances at getting a sketchcard. This means no cheating, lying, stealing, sabotaging your way to finding your sketchcards;
9. Upon finding a sketchcard, please take a selfie with the sketchcard (and the location it was found at) and posted it on the SCC thread, to indicate that the card had already been found.
