My Japanese correspondent Ceena just sent me the news that Kodansha will be announcing the winners of its first international manga competition in August and accepting entries for its second competition until December. Details after the cut.
Kodansha to have another International Manga Competition
Our first full-scale international competition for manga, the “International Manga Competition,” has received a phenomenal number of submissions from more than ten countries. We sincerely appreciate your enthusiasm and support. It will take time to make our selections since we received more submissions than we expected, so we plan to announce the results in August on our “e-morning” website, and publish the grand prize winning work in “Morning 2” #6, slated for mid-October.
Due to the enormous number of submissions we received, we’ve decided to have a second International Manga Competition. The deadline for the second competition is December 31st, 2007. For more information, visit our website. If you have any questions, email ceena directly at animecomics4u@ybb.ne.jp
Sooo, is this open to like, all the world, or limited to those languages on the website?
