Menee vähän sivuun aiheesta, mutta kyllähän sitä voi olla merkittävä palkinto monessakin mielessä. Esimerkiksi myöntäjien itsensä mielestä.
Pienellä hakemisellä löytyi
kiotolaisten jakama tunnustus jonka suuruus on 6000$.
Sitten jollain kustantajien/mangatalojen yhteenliittymällä on kans tapana palkita tekijöitä, mutta ne varsinkin menee aika suoraan kaupallisen menestyksen perusteella. Muistelen vaan miten vaikka Rumiko Takahashi on saanut semmoisen muutamaan kertaan. Tulokkaillekin oli joku palkinto erikseen...
Tämä Li Kunwun saama tunnustus näyttäisi lankeavan enemmän taiteellisista ansioista kuin edellämainitsemani, vaikkakin rahallisesti vaatimaton onkin, silti varmasti ihan merkittävä.
Palkinnon FAQ sivulla on vielä perusteita viime vuoden palkituista:
Although there are many new face awards established by publishers in the manga industry, only a few awards are open to the general public. The Japan Media Arts Festival is a work-oriented award which is not decided by popularity polls and places no limitation on the form of submissions. As a wide-open award, it will become more important in the industry. For the screening, I take the stance that the judging processes also generate an “expression”, that of the jury. This year again, the number of submissions increased compared to the previous year. For the Grand Prize, JOJOLION was selected after considering the influence of the series on manga culture and other artists' future work, as well as the achievement of it being translated into different languages. We have a lineup of marvelous new works for the Excellence and New Face Awards. We didn’t discuss it during the screening process, but these eight award-winning works, with their different publication methods also originated from, such as serialized book publications and works released online. This makes evident the variety of interrelated media forms in the Japanese manga industry today. Although it’s a pity that some very popular works were not submitted, I think all the award-winning works show powerful independent expression and are worthy representatives of the manga of 2013.
