Narrative Illustration

There's an Illustration competition that is running through Cheltenham University, as part of the Cheltenham Illustration Awards. The deadline in the 14th May, and 'entries are invited on CD with a print size up to A3 per image. You may send as many images as you like under one entry as long as they form part of a sequential narrative. The limit of five entries will mean five separate projects or narratives per person.'

I don't want to create anything too cartoon strip style, so it could be interesting to explore other ways of showing a narrative through a visual. It does state in the guidelines that the work can be as 'obscure or abstract' as you like.
