The Manlleu Manga Contest celebrates its 21st edition with an award ceremony next Sunday, July 26th, at five in the afternoon, in the Can Puget Exhibition Hall.

The theme of the Sant Joan night has been central to this edition of the competition. During the event, a specialized jury, composed of professionals from the manga and illustration field, will announce the winners and finalists for the Children's, Youth, and Adult categories. The jury evaluated aspects such as technique, style, composition, character originality, and adaptation to the proposed theme.
The event, open to the public, will feature a screening of the finalist works on a large screen, allowing attendees to appreciate the participants' talent. The Manlleu Manga Contest has established itself as one of the oldest manga drawing competitions in Catalonia, fostering creativity and providing a platform for children, youth, and adults.
The organization has congratulated all participants and expressed gratitude to the jury members, as well as to the collaborating publishing houses, companies, and entities, whose support is crucial for the contest's annual growth.
