The Kyoto International Manga Anime Fair (KYOMAF) was held with the hope of supporting the creative industries by providing a place where creators from around the world could share their work despite the effects of the Covid-19 disaster, which has limited the economic activities of many countries.
The Kyoto International Manga Anime Award established an illustration division in 2019, and a CG animation division was added in 2020, strengthening this prestigious award, which now consists of three divisions: manga, illustration, and CG animation. In 2022, we received a record number of 2,261 entries from 99 regions and countries around the world. By creating opportunities for aspiring manga artists and other creators from around the world to make their professional debut in Kyoto, the contest aims to discover and nurture creators with diverse talents.
