Turn Your Manga Into an Anime: The “Manga to Anime Short-Film Contest” Is Now Open For Entry
As of February 12th, 2022 (Saturday), Animator Supporters has unveiled their new “Manga to Anime Short-Film Contest.”
The prize pool consists of $1,350 for third place, $2,700 for second place, $4,500 for first place. Additionally, the first-place entry will be adapted into an anime short film of about 5 minutes in length by professional Japanese animators.
This is perhaps the first manga contest the world has ever seen where the winning entry gets adapted into an anime.
Pro or hobbyist, it doesn't matter. Anyone can participate. Older works can also be submitted provided that they have not been published in any official serializations. The deadline to apply is September 30th, 2022.
We want to create the opportunity for your work to gain widespread recognition through adaptation.
Currently, many manga are adapted into anime. Of them, there are works that are easier to adapt and harder to adapt. There have been many manga in the past where, although the comics themselves are amazing, they don't receive anime adaptations.
We started this contest because we would like to shine a spotlight on these great works and create an opportunity for them to receive more public recognition through adaptation.
For more information regarding how to apply to the Manga to Anime Short-Film Contest, we have set up a special page containing more details.
