I feel very disappointed in how over the years the information and updates on this contest has gone downhill. I have been seriously building up on my own work to a professional level so that I could get into this contest and someday reach my dream, to be a mangaka. There are few contests out there that can show off hard work. I do hope to enter the 2009-2010 contest... (hahaha~ I've been working under the standards of this contest since freshmen year of High School. It'd be a total downer if all my hard work came to nothing. Please update.)

As much as my art needs work, I've still got to go for it this time. I hope the economy hasn't put a hold on the contest.
