Hello,

Just wanted to send a heads up that Suvudu (www.suvudu.com) is hosting a contest—and the prizes include free manga and tickets to this year’s New York Anime Festival! It’s a bit of a twist on the traditional contest—participants submit a manga- or anime-style self portrait along with a photo of their real selves for comparison.

Here’s the link to the blog post: http://www.suvudu.com/2008/09/contest-ny-anime-festival.html and a link to the official entry rules: http://www.suvudu.com/nyanimecontest_rules.html. Del Rey Manga’s own Ali Kokmen and Tricia Narwani will be judging the event!

Cheers,

April Flores
