Manga Academy contest...
Stumbled on this from Akadot's newsletter. It seems that Manga Academy is a free teaching site for drawing has teamed up with Pop Japan Travel to create this contest. People send in a short 10-20 comic and the winner will get the comic translated to Japanese and flown to Japan where they can show it off at the Comiket doujinshi (amateur) convention. An interesting idea...
As an aside, I'd so love to go on one of the Pop Japan tours. I don't have $1300, but these things are 7 days long visiting all kinds of places. Having one of the winter tours be to Comiket is a pretty nice idea. BTW, this page has some of the better pictures of the interior of Comiket that I've seen online (they usually don't allow pictures except for the Cosplay area on the roof).
