April 23

Applications are open for the 18th Japan International MANGA Award 2024. The international award in Japan is a fully funded opportunity for artists who have a keen interest in MANGA and comic art. This International MANGA Award will provide a fully funded trip to Japan for all the award winners. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 2007 established the International MANGA Award to promote global understanding and exchange through widely acknowledged MANGA culture. This international award will recognize MANGA artists who have made significant contributions to the growth of MANGA culture. Art is a universal language, and it has always been used to express and give multiple messages through its different forms, such as drawings, sketches, and paintings.

The Japan International MANGA Award will present the MANGA Gold Award for the best cartoon entry, three Silver Awards for extra exceptional works, and around eleven Bronze Awards for other works. Furthermore, Gold and Silver Award winners receive trophies, while Bronze Award winners receive certificates. A MANGA work that is more exceptional and appreciated than the other Bronze Award submissions but was not selected for the Silver Award may get the Special Encouragement Award. Moreover, the recipients of the Special Encouragement Award will receive certificates.

Through this international art competition in Japan, the Japan Foundation will provide an opportunity for MANGA prize winners of Gold and Silver Awards to visit Japan for 7 days to participate in this international award ceremony. The Japan International MANGA Award ceremony will take place in Tokyo, Japan, and will combine modern architecture and wooden buildings. In addition, the participants will make courtesy calls to publishing houses, Japanese cartoonists, and other establishments. This fully funded award opportunity is an excellent chance to explore Japan and its culture in real life rather than see it in biopics and documentaries.
