Fom March 1st to July 13rd 2010, IT’S ART is holding a contest called “A time traveller’s guide for dummies”. The concept of this challenge is to illustrate a fake time traveller’s guide for dummies by getting inspired with this concept:  For more than a decade, time travelling has been allowed for everyone. Although it's secure nowadays, the government wants to produce a little guide for travellers to warn them about annoyances and how to avoid problems. This little guide uses different techniques to describe these situations, 2D pictures, 3D pictures, comics and videos.

You're asked to choose one of these categories and don’t forget to have a great sense of humor. At the end of the competition, a PDF version of the fake guide including the best submissions will be published..
