You made me really happy by posting this. I was trying to find something like this for a long time because i live in Serbia and here manga isn’t that popular but i love to read and to draw manga…However my knowledge of English language is poor and i don’t know Japanese, so right now i’m interested in this “silent manga competition”. will it be this year also or my chance is gone i would like to compete in this, and when is the dead line to send my work? if i came far with this i could consider drawing manga for publishing, right now i don’t have much time for big things because i’m university student so i was thinking that i should try something little, like making baby steps…. 🙂
