I promote this every year because its just such a great opportunity! TOKYOPOP is hosting their 4th annual Rising Stars of Manga contest which means an open door at one of the top anime/manga production companies in the world. Grand prize is $2500 plus the "in" to have your work seriously screened by the big guys. You can get all the details at http://www.tokyopop.com/news/mangatalent/index.php. Good luck! :)
