“Manga” refers to Japanese-style comic books. Over the past decade, the popularity and marketability of manga has exploded worldwide. The Award was established this year to recognize manga artists who have contributed to the promotion of manga overseas. The Executive Committee convened on November 26th and announced the second competition.
The top entry will be awarded the Golden Prize and three other distinguished works will receive Silver Prizes. The Japan Foundation will sponsor a ten-day trip to Japan for the winners, including the award ceremony. Winners will also have the opportunity to meet with Japanese manga artists and visit publication companies during their trip.
