FREE ENTRY / Coamix - The Silent Manga Audition 2025

The Silent Manga Audition is an international manga competition hosted by manga Japanese publisher COAMIX Inc..

Open to anyone worldwide, this contest invites you to submit a story told entirely through illustration, without the use of dialogue. It serves as a canvas for creators to express intricate emotions, intricate narratives, and captivating moments through the medium of illustrations.

The absence of dialogue emphasizes the power of storytelling through images, making the competition accessible to artists from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds.

The 2025 edition of the competition, themed "Seized with Rage", challenges participants to convey intense emotions like anger, frustration, or passion, solely through visual elements. Artists are tasked with creating manga that resonate universally, allowing readers to engage deeply with the story through the characters’ expressions, body language, and creative use of onomatopoeia and symbolic imagery.
