What's new with Manga Jiman?
2020/8/26
The search for the best comic creators in the UK continues with the Manga Jiman Competition. There are two separate categories; artists aged 14 or over can create a story told in 6 to 8 pages for Manga Jiman or entrants aged between 11 and 13 can submit a comic strip of 4 panels on one page for Yonkoma Manga.
To help us launch the competition in July, we asked three former winners to join an online event and tell us about their approach to the competition, advice when creating and what goes into a winning comic. The full video of the event and short edited clips can be viewed on the Embassy’s YouTube channel.

All entries must be original creations which have never been published or publicly displayed before and for that reason we specify a theme each year. The theme for 2020 is 'technology’ and we ask entrants to incorporate a written or visual reference to this theme within their story.
Recently, we have launched an Instagram page where you will see the latest information on the competition and examples of winning work from previous years.
Winning entrants will receive superb prizes, have their work exhibited at the Embassy and become part of a vibrant community of Manga Jiman alumni. For full details on how to enter, see MANGA JIMAN COMPETITION 2020.
