The 17th Japan International MANGA Award
2023/4/14
The 17th Japan International MANGA Award is seeking the very best of international manga creating talent, and is currently accepting submissions from across the world, including those from Ireland.
The prestigious competition was established in 2007 by the then Foreign Minister of Japan ASO Taro, as a means of encouraging those with manga creating talent outside of Japan. The competition is often very competitive, with professional artists and comic makers entering published work. Unpublished comics and work created especially for the competition are also encouraged, and have been successful in previous years.
