Here are some common questions related to Registration from you.
1) How do I register? (NEW!)
You can register yourself into the competition by logging on to http://juniormangachallenge.blogspot.com/ and downloading the JMC08 REGISTRATION FORM.
Fill in the form and send it back to us by FAX,EMAIL or SNAIL MAIL before the 31st of August 2008.
You can also scan your form into JPEG format and email it to rei@transtel.com.my
2) Is it true that for the first 100 to register is FREE? (NEW!)
YES, the first 100 to register with us is FREE! This is on a first come first serve basis, so HURRY!
3) How do I know if I am entitled to a FREE registration? (NEW!)
Do I have to proceed with the payment of RM10 first then?
You can call us directly to enquire but once all 100 places are filled, we will promptly remove the notice from our blog first.
The moment we receive your Registration forms by fax, email or snailmail, we will number them accordingly and assign you with a unique JMC08REG ID Number.
You will also receive an official JMC08 Registration Confirmation letter by email. It is stated on the letter, that you are entitled to a free registration should you be the first 100.
4) If we do qualify for the free registration but already proceeded with the payment, do we get a refund? (NEW!)
Yes, we will refund your money. You can collect your refund at our company (refer to Contact Us for the address) and collect you refund anytime during working hours.
5) How much is the Registration Fee for the competition? (NEW!)
The Registration Fee is RM10 and is non-refundable. You only need to register once. Then, you can submit as many mangas as you want at no additional charge.
6) So you're telling me that there's no charge per additional manga anymore?
YES! You can submit as many mangas as you like.
7) How to pay?

8) If I come all the way from East Malaysia (Sabah and Sarawak) how am I suppose to get back my refund if I don't have friends or relatives in the peninsular? (NEW!)
For those who do not live in the Klang Valley area and have issues coming to our office to collect your refund, we can arrange to send the refund to you by post, in the form of a cheque. Alternatively, there is always the JMC08 Awards Ceremony next year where we can all meet and refund you there and then. Do let us know if the matter is urgent and we will act immediately! Don't worry as we do take note of those who are entitled to a refund.
9) I am legally 12 years old and I haven't got my MyKad yet. But I'm studying in secondary school. So, which category do I fall in? I'm HOME SCHOOLED, so I have no school to fall back on! Am I disqualified from joining this competition? (NEW!)
If you are 12 years old according to your birth certificate and haven't got your MyKad yet, then you are in the Primary Category. People like me will be so envious that you can reverse your age by a year.
If you are home schooled and have no school to fall back on, we don't see that as a problem at all. You are still entitled to join JMC08. We still advise you not to skip "school" to work on your manga though.
10) I checked the dictionary for EXPATRIATES and it says, EXILED people. Your rules and regulations stated that children of expatriates are welcome to join this competition. Does it mean that children of EXILED people are allowed to participate? (Award winning question)
The term expatriates that we use refers to skilled people from abroad and not Malaysian citizens but currently stationed to work in Malaysia on a temporary basis. NOT the exiled..
If your parents belong in this group and are currently residing in Malaysia for work purposes, then you are entitled to join JMC08.
11) What if I'm currently studying in a Malaysian international school but a citizen of the Czech Republic, yet my dad is Malaysian and my mom a Hungarian mixed Polish? Can I still take part in JMC08?
Under the rules and regulations of JMC08, yes you are entitled to take part in JMC08.
