Malaysia’s starting to open up more and more opportunities for local Manga Artists.
Unfortunately, I only noticed this one too late:

Putrajaya Arts Festival - the Original Manga Competition.
I just had to stumble on this poster nearly 2 weeks too late...
(image - the bunting. argh...)
(image - the bunting closeup. bloody hell, why did they leave it outside the shop when it already ENDED?!)
The festival council teamed up with Komik Factory, another local comic magazine, to hold this competition. There also seemed to be a Manga workshop on the 22nd of March, during the prize giving ceremony.
There wasn’t much details on the website apart from this poster, even the rules and regulation did not state the reason for such an event.
Apart for local mangaka to win a big wad of cash and potentially build some connections with some local industry players… Argh. TT_____TT
But I’m hopeful this will turn into an annual event – there was a huge turn out on the Prize Giving/Manga Workshop day
