Japan: The Fourth International MANGA Awards

Overview

The Forth International MANGA Award Executive Committee will start to accept entries for the Forth Award from April 5 (Mon).

The International MANGA Award was established to share Japanese pop culture and to help promote understanding of Japan. It was created to honor MANGA artists who have contributed to the promotion of MANGA overseas.

The Golden Prize of the 4th International MANGA Award will be given to the best MANGA from all the entries and three distinguished works will receive the Silver Prize. In addition, the Japan Foundation will invite the prize winners to Japan to attend the award ceremony. They will also meet with Japanese MANGA artists and visit publishing companies, etc., in Japan.
