Comics drawing contest!
Hello everyone! :) The time has come the to close our comics drawing contest. We have seen some amazing works uploaded here over the past few weeks.

UPDATE: We've seen many awesome creations coming together during last weeks. Since many people asked for a deadline extensions, we decided to go for it and give you guys additional two more weeks to finish up. The new deadline is March 15th, 2017 00:01 GMT. Enjoy! :)
Draw a comic and publish it on Mangaido to enter the competition with total prize pool of $300. The winner we will select together will be awarded $150 (guaranteed prize), while the runners up will be awarded $30 each.
What are the rules?
Draw a comic chapter and publish it on Mangaido before March 15th, 2017 00:01 GMT (updated). Your chapter should be no shorter than 24 panels (comic pages). For the conversation bubbles you are free to use any language you are comfortable with. Most readers speak English, and/or Japanese, so it would be awesome if you use one of there languages, BUT you also have subtitles tool at your disposal to create translations. :)
On the technical side: your panels will be displayed on a single page (one by one) without any margin between them, so that you can seamlessly join pages for a cool effect! :) The recommended panel width is 720 px, it should not a longer than 5000 px and larger than 15 MB.
Let me know if you have any questions… And good luck! :)
Czy to ma być skończona historia czy może być to 1 chapter większej całości?
Jeden chapter jest jak najbardziej ok, to nie musi koniecznie być zamknięta historia :) || For our English-speakers: you can qualify by uploading the first chapter of a longer story. It doesn't necessarily have to be a closed, completed story. As long as people are enjoying it, it doesn't really matter. :)
So, by panels, do you mean pages?
Also, is there a formal way to enter this contest? Like a submission application? Or do we just post the link in this thread?
Because I'd totally be down for this contest if you'll accept my story. I'm almost done with the first chapter. http://mangaido.com/en/series/28/chapters/41
Sounds great Konspiracy! :) Yes, by panels we essentially mean comic pages. We specifically chose 24 because it is a popular format for one chapter. As far as contest submission goes, it's fine if people post links here, just as you did :) Looking forward to see how your chapter ends ^^
cool, I like this
My manga is on few month break but I can show whats been done. I need break from artist and all his confusions. Hope u like this so I can keep paying him for more pages. http://mangaido.com/en/series/30/chapters/45 . Btw this is prologue chapter and is not finished yet, same with chapter 1. I kind of have long chapters.
I've got one more page to go. I started this project on paper (because I didn't have my tablet at the time) and I continued it when I got a new bamboo pen. I'll be doing minor edits to the on-paper pages to make the visual flow of the story move more smoothly. I hope y'all enjoy it. I haven't been this inspired for a story in a long time, and I hope to take it somewhere one day. :) ---> http://mangaido.com/en/series/28
I'm always humbled by how many extraordinary talented people we have here. You are all making my days. :)
can it be a gig manga?
Just to be clear, what do you mean by a gig manga? :) Drawn on commission?
Hi! If I understood right everybody is part of the contest who published their manga on mangaido? Because I didn't published it for the contest... I can't accept any money so please ignore me in the contest...
gig manga is ummm , u know 4koma? every 4 panels are separated story, like K ON manga or kokkuri san for example
gig means every chapter is unrelated story to the next, 4koma is something like this http://mangafox.me/manga/gugure_kokkuri_san/v03/c026/3.html
Oh, okay - so it is something like one-shot, only shorter. Yes, as long as it it's longer than 24 pages in total then it's all good. :)
Hej, są jakieś szanse na przedłużenie terminu zgłoszeń? ;_;
@KapitanLLP Since quite a few people messaged me asking for deadline extension, we've decided to extend the submission deadline by two weeks by popular demand. :) I've updated the original post with the new date (March 15th, 2017 00:01 GMT). Stay creative! :) || Polish: Hej @KapitanLLP: Kilka osób dopytywało się o przedłużenie terminu, więc zdecydowaliśmy się przedłużyć deadline o dwa tygodnie do 15 Marca 2017 00:01 GMT. Miłego rysowania! :)
Nice seems westill rolling with it, is there anything else I need to do then just reply to this post?
Nope, you are good to go Ricardo, no need to do anything :)
k great, btw I not getting any notifications to posts or messages on here
Yes, smarter notifications are still on the list. Right now only the person that created the status update get them (so me in case of this status update). The thing is that we don't want people to get spammed too much in case there will be many replies... Still need to look into that :)
Przepraszam, w jaki sposób moję zgłosić chęć uczestnictwa w konkursie? Czy wystarczy, że podam tu link do swojej pracy? http://mangaido.com/pl/series/35/chapters/57
Widziałam, że Okami Haruna zdecydowała się nie brać w nim udziału, ale wciąż nie wiem, jak się zameldować w odwrotnej sytuacji. Wybaczcie, jeśli przeoczyłam jakąś informacje podaną w innym miejscu.
(English, Polish version follows :)) Hi Vanitachi! Regarding your question on how to participate in the competition - we are all friends here and don't have to bound by unnecessary bureaucracy, so by default we will consider all comic series currently uploaded to Mangaido, unless the author specifically withdrew her/his title from the competition like Okami did. You're good to go! :) || Hej Vanitachi! Nie ma sensu bawić się w nadmierną biurokrację, więc w konkursie domyślnie bierzemy pod uwagę wszystkie komiksy (również Twój), chyba, że autor wycofał swój udział tak jak to zrobiła Okami. Wszysko jest ok. :)
