Medibang 2nd Manga Contest

Zpreader 2016-10-15 00:12:13 UTC #1

So another year and another Medibang manga contest. Figured I'd post this here again.

Rules seem to be similar to the contest last year, but with no cash payouts this time and maybe a better chance at getting editorial advice even if you don't win.

More information can be found on the contest page for anyone who is interested:

So, anyone thinking about entering?

Mmm...publication in WSJ's app sounds good, but I'm curious? Will you get paid to be a published creator in said app or no?

I'm super tempted to enter but afraid of potentially losing my copyrights o_o

would be amazing being in a shounen jump thing though........................

It's not Shounen Jump this time, it's Shounen Magazine, which is published by Kodansha. Their line-up tends to be a bit more diverse than the Shueisha/Jump shounen titles, so it might be a better choice for international webcomic artists. I would like to enter one of these contests, but I don't have the time at the moment. I'm also more interested in drawing for a shoujo demographic than shounen.

Oh my god. i was looking for more info on this. I saw it on the anime network website and couldnt find more details, so i didnt know if it was real. I have been working on my manga for a bit and def feel like i have to do this. fight or flight, i need to see if i can actually be worth something in this industry.

It seems interesting but I fear that my writing is far too Western.

I wonder how short it can be.

I'm happy to see your enthusiasm but I am concerned about your wording.

Please don't let a contest victory/defeat define how you see yourself as an artist

Is there going to be one next year?
I'd really like to get in on it but I don't have the time and I think I still need to make some improvements before attempting anything like this

And for anyone that entering good luck
