The concept of contest is "The Gate to the World for Asian talents" and the main purpose of contest is to find talented creators in these countries and market them to the world. We will make presentations of illustration works of talented creators in Japan and other countries. And we may secure exclusive management contracts with them and give them full supports of promotion and marketing to the world. Mr. Nambaral Erdenebayar who is a representative comic artist of Mongolia secured an exclusive management contract with us on 6 April 2017 already starts promotion activities for release of his works in Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia. We consider it as a best practice of promotion to the world.
We take advantage of accomplishments in contents filed over the years and expansion in Asian countries and will find hidden talents such as illustrators in Asia.
