The 27 th National High School Manga Championships(Manga Koshien) Implementation Outline for Schools from Overseas 1 Aims As a prefecture that has produced many well-known manga artists, we will be holding an event through which information about manga, which is regarded as a valuable cultural resource, can be transmitted both within and out of the country. While promoting the "Manga Kingdom Tosa", we also support interactions between regions and generations, as well as cultural activities amongst high school students. 2 Event Dates Preliminary Round June 22 (Fri), 2018 Final Round August 4 and 5 (Sat and Sun), 2018 3 Event Locations Preliminary Round Seicho Hall, Honchosha, Kochi Kencho (1-2-20 Marunouchi, Kochi-shi) Main Round Culport, Bunka-Plaza, Kochi-shi (2-1 Kyuhanda, Kochi-shi) Consolation Round Hirome Ichi-ba, Chushin Shotenmachi, Kochi-shi (2-3-1 Obiyamachi, Kochi-shi) 4 Eligibility For entries from within Japan, students up to their third year of study or lower in senior high schools, upper-secondary curriculums, senior high divisions of special assistance schools, and specialized vocational high schools, as well as students from Special Institutes who have a course term corresponding to senior high schools, are eligible to participate. For entries from outside of Japan, students from Korea, Singapore and Taiwan who are in nationally/regionally-recognized equivalents of (or most closely similar to) Japan's senior high schools are eligible to participate. Only one team can apply per school, and each team should consist of 3-5 students in addition to one teacher who is responsible for escorting the team. * The participation of students who do not fit the above criteria will be determined by the host organization, upon discussion. * If a team does not consist of 3-5 members, it may be disqualified.

5 Guidelines for the Preliminary Round Entries Choose one of two themes (to be announced in April) and produce a manga based on that theme. The manga should be created through the joint effort of all the students entered on the application form, and should be submitted on 1 sheet of B4 size paper (257mm x 364mm). Each school should only submit one entry. The deadline for the preliminary round entries is June 8 (Mon), 2017. They must arrive by that date. Please address entries to the Kochi Prefecture Manga Kingdom Tosa Promotion Division. Postal fees are at the school's expense, and we will not accept entries that require payment on delivery. Please send them to: 20-2-1 Marunouchi, Kochi-shi, Kochi-ken, 780-8570, JAPAN Kochi Prefecture Department of Culture, Community and Sports, Manga Kingdom Tosa Promotion Division. * Please be aware that if you should fail to meet the above criteria, you may be disqualified, or be placed at a disadvantage when judged. 6 Judging of the Preliminary Round The preliminary round will be held on June 22 (Fri), 2018 at the main hall of Kochi Prefectural Office. Judges include professional manga artists, and they will decide the competing schools as well as the reserve schools. In addition, school names will not be released during the screening process. A total of 33 schools will be selected to compete in the main round, with 30 schools from Japan, 1 school each from Korea, Taiwan and Singapore selected as competitors, and 5 schools from Japan as well as 1 school each from Korea, Singapore and Taiwan selected as reserves. Reserve schools will be given a ranking, and in the case a competing school is unable to attend, the reserve school ranked first will be asked to fill in for them. The results of the preliminary rounds will be posted up online on the "Manga Kingdom Tosa Portal Site" within the same day. *We ask that the schools that have passed the preliminary round send their "confirmation of intent to participate in the main round" form by fax as soon as possible after receiving confirmation.

7 Main Round (1) Conditions for participation No changes in students named in the registration form, or addition of students will be permitted at the Main Round. A decrease in the participating student numbers will only be allowed in the case of unavoidable circumstances, such as health issues. *If, due to a decrease in student numbers, the participating team fails to fulfill the minimum participatory qualifying criteria of 3 members, their participation will be at the discretion of the host organization. The escort should be a staff. A participation fee of JPY 30,000 per participant (including their 1 escort) is required from schools competing in the Main Round, and should be transferred to the specified bank account by the specified date. *We allocate part of this fee to cover transportation and accommodation costs.
