Questions

Thank you

Yeah you can, as long as

Yeah you can, as long as it's in one of the specified languages (like English).

Question again...

I'm from Bulgaria, my question is: can i enter in the competition, in case i'm gonna use English on my papers?
Thanx!

EVERYONE can join, as long

EVERYONE can join, as long as you abide by the ten languages

i suggest that you dont use a good story just for the case that it probrobly will be stolen from you but if its good enough they will probrobly ask you to make more for their magazine, the only thing about that is that you need to ask to look over the contract if you win, because manga artists are notoriously poor most of the time, so you will still need another job

and yes you can enter if you are under 18, the competition is in japan so it doesnt matter what age you are, as for getting a contract and editor. that could be a different story

and yes you can make your manga on the computer, they dont care how you do it, just that there has to be a physical copy and that it get there on time

quetion not awnsered ^^

ahh i have a question ....can you send it by e-mail or do you have to print it and send it??and ahh can you put a pin name ??? like mine has always been nina sakura saotome ^^
