The 15th Iwate Manga Award contest aims to use manga as a medium to promote the many appeals of our prefecture and to share Iwate’s brilliant manga culture. 
All entries must be original works that have not been previously submitted or published, and must have something to do with Iwate. 
All genres are accepted, and you may submit to either of the following categories: 
 
*General category – create your own short story that focuses on anything related to Iwate 
*1-4 panel (koma) manga category – create a one or more panel manga about Iwate. 
*Illustration category – create illustrations on anything related to Iwate 
 
In addition to receiving a monetary award, the winners of the grand prize and excellence award in the“General category” will be published on Comic Iwate WEB. 
For entries that have passed the first screening, there will be an opportunity for artists to receive constructive criticism regarding their work from a panel of comic magazine editors. 
 
The “1-4 panel manga category”will be further divided into general (high school and above) or junior divisions and judged separately. 
Entries from all ages, beginners or professional, are welcome. 
Successfully selected submissions may be published on the Comic Iwate WEB page.
