TokyoPop.com is hosting an aspiring Manga artist competition. If you have a series you've written or have one in mind, then this may be a great chance for you. TokyoPop's contest, which will run from August 15 through December 16, 2002, calls for artists to send in their ("self-contained") works of 15-25 pages in length. Ten winners will be selected by a panel of judges and each will have their story published in TokyoPop's upcoming anthology, Rising Stars of Manga. The first prize winner will not only get their story published, but they will also receive a $2,500 cash prize and a chance to pitch a series to TokyoPop. The other nine winners will also receive cash prizes.
For more information on the contest, a list of rules & regulations, and an application form, visit TokyoPop's Contest Site.
