After the hard work and mad rush to submit, is that it???
How soon can I know the results, what's gonna happen to my precious manga and who are the judges and who is the egghead responsible for answering all these questions anyway...
Get the answers for that here!
1) What happens after I submit my manga?
The organisers will proceed with the official judging session with our selected panel of judges. The judges decision are final.
2) What will happen to the manga I submitted? Can I get them back?
Sorry, the answer is no. We cannot return you your manga as stated in the terms and conditions. But don't worry as it is good hands with us and will be put to good use that will benefit all participants of the competition!
3) When can I expect the announcement of winners to be made?You will be notified sometime by the end of December or if all things go well. Winners will be notified by all means of communication including an official letter mailed to you by email, snail mail, a phone call and even text message. We will use a pigeon if we need to!
All entrants will be invited to the Junior Manga Challenge 2008 Awards Ceremony in mid January 2009, and that's next year! We believe in you deserving a good rest during the holidays before the excitement really begins!
4) What if the manga gets damaged on the way to the organiser's place?
Well, if any of you even think of such a thing happening to your mangas, we will hurt you.
Just kidding. We are aware of such hazards that can come to your precious manga in the process of travelling to our doorstep.
This is precisely why we prefer a digital copy of your manga stored in a CD-ROM as a backup copy for us. But if you are unable to manage the whole scanning thing due to unforeseen circumstances, then we (that's you too!) will just have to take a risk.
What's life without some risk? If you want to attach a lucky rabbit's foot on your manga and pray to the heavens that it will arrive safely at our place. The organisers will not be held responsible for any damage or loss of manga.
5) Can I get back my stuff after submission and if I didn't win?
Firstly, throw that negative attitude out. You're in to win! >_<
But sorry, once you have submitted your manga, we cannot return it to you as stated in the terms and conditions. But fear not, your precious manga is in good hands with us.
6) What are you organisers going to do with my manga baby?!!
Relax, no harm will come to your precious bundle of ideas. Don't worry, we value and respect your art and stories as much as you do. We believe that mangas are meant to be shared and enjoyed by everyone.
Our mission is to encourage young budding creators like yourself to let the world discover your talents. We do that by assisting you to show off to the world what you are really capable off!
Before that, we humbly request for your permission first! You can allow us to do that by signing on the Submission Form.
7) Who are the judges anyway?
The judges are experienced creative artists and creators from the content industry who loves stories, manga and comics just like you do. Many have won awards, competitions and have been through many hardships to become what they are today.
Information on our blog about the judges will be posted soon, so stay tune!
8) How do I know if there will be changes in the dates of events and things like that?
That's why this blog was created. It is to keep you updated with the current developments and latest news related to JMC08.
9) Who are those 2 goons in the cheesy video under the Questions From You section?
You really need me to answer that...? =_=;;
10) Rei, are you Japanese?
Doesn't every otaku (or retired ones) wish that they were? ^^;
The answer is...no. I'm true blue Malaysian, KL-person but I learned Japanese since I was 14 years old.
I find myself sporadically practising it every odd occasion or so when I LEAST expect it and when I'm most likely to embarass myself. (lol)
I lived in Japan for about a month and off to Japan again in September 2008 for business.
My Japanese profiency at best is, half-baked or to put it simply, not so good. ^^;;
At least I'm able to order POTETO (ポテト) from a Japanese Makudonarudo (マクドナルドMcDonalds)
