Hi,
I just came across this and thought I should spread the word in case any members would be interested, and certainly for those wanting to make it as comic artists! Maybe I'm a bit late, but Shonen Jump is having a competition for aspiring manga artists. I think
this is their first one ever. If you win, your work will be featured in Shonen Jump, or other publications mentioned on the webpage.
Deadline is October 1 2013.
