It's time for evolution. We welcome you to the Ogono Art Family. Today I'm going to be showing you guys the Silent manga edition which is a international manga contest so no matter where you are in the world Or you can be from China or Argentina or America or or Africa No matter where you are in the world you can participate in this contest because it's happening globally However, it's hosted in Japan. So just keep that in mind So one one thing I like about the silent manga or edition is that They provide a whole list of different themes every time so This this was a one theme Like a earlier theme called a fair play so you would construct your your comic or your one shop based on fair play Another one on unforgettable tastes another one on smiling and another one on childhood Etc And so like the themes going on and on so the contest and I'm participating in is called the the I'm participating in a tenth theme and this theme has a friendship effort in victory and it's due on September 28 in case you guys wanted to you know participate and there's another there's another theme For you guys to participate which is on exam and trials which is due on November 30th So this could give you guys time if you ever want to participate in this one at least and so as a week come here We're going to be presented with all of the Requirements that are provided for you and so they'll they'll give you like a list of Requirements or you know what they're looking for in the theme what they want Express to the theme so that's also something to keep in mind and at the same time if you're like just starting out I believe they they want no dialogue from you You have to as a comic artist you have to be able to tell your your story visually without text and since 80% of Communication is is nonverbal. That's good. That's it's a good way to practice that visual that visual language and not only that We also have to keep in mind that's Since this is a global contest. There's going to be language language barriers So not everyone is going to speak the same language during these contests will help you to you know improve On that visual language as a as a conga because the visual language can help you know and and it is enough It is enough to tell the story and you know these are the And every contest oh there's going to be a judgey's judgey's that will you know that will see your work or so There's also prizes that you get and what I like about these is that have a lot of opportunity to at least get Get noticed or considered because you have you know, there's a grandpix Pricks that there's the there's the runner up. There's the excellence and this out excellence runner up You have a lot of opportunity and I believe honorable mentions I believe there more than one person can be an honorable mention and if you ever want to Submit your artwork you can do it online It's it says here that is strongly recommended that you're doing online and if you don't want to do it online You can also send it in through this address right here if you desire and Yeah, and also one thing to keep in mind is that this contest has a lot of really skill artists that you can learn from it So you can also look into their work see how the person who won the One you know the these top places see how their story was was constructed. Okay, so these are the contest winners for one of the contest and You know you can see that these are you know international from different They're from different backgrounds and so each each of these artists you can read their manga You know they're one shot and as you can see there. There's no dialogue there and You can just read their manga and just see how how they were able to you know convey what they wanted to convey and how they won you know There's spa in a sense. I believe there's a masterclass. I'm not sure what that is not yet anyway. So One of my friends are is in the masterclass and I've read one of her comics there and I believe the masterclass They're allowed to To put dialogue in their in their comics, you know However, if you're like just starting out in the contest. They prefer no dialogue, but I feel I think if you like You kind of level up into into masterclass That's when you can start to use your your comics So I have this friend here who created Dream Rocker and there's someone else who created a pizza king and roots etc. And these these comics do have dialogue. So yeah, you could you could check them out and so yeah I'm gonna be participating in this. I'm gonna be doing the friendship effort and victory contest and My one shot is gonna be called search for mother. So yes, stay tuned look out for that and yeah, peace out You
