This year's Golden Comic Awards was enthusiastically registered. The Ministry
of Culture stated that a total of 226 works were registered for the
competition, an increase of 17% over last year. After reviews, a total of 25
works were shortlisted, and Ren Zhenghua won the Special Contribution Award.
Ren Zhenghua came into prominence in the 1980s with girly comics. Her
representative works include "Sea of Devil", "Ren Rou Bao Zi", "Drawn to Life",
"Drawn to Life 2", etc.. Her works are full of insights into humanity and
entertaining, being a model for young generations to learn.
In terms of other awards, the jury stated that the finalists of this year's
Best New Talent award are amazing, including their styles and selection of
materials; the finalists of the Best Editor show how editors explore the market
with their own unique vision. They led creators to clarify the core of the work
from the beginning of the project to the final completion. The works
shortlisted for the Best Cross-media Application use peripheral products and
integrated media to enrich the worldview of the original work. Shortlisted
works of the Comic of the Year are diverse, showing multiple styles.
Since the government has promoted comics and has contributed in data
translation, the Government Comic Award has been added this year to encourage
creators and private organizations to cooperate with government agencies to
develop original comics with Taiwanese characteristics. The jury stated that
the finalists for this award broke the old stereotype. These works are
imaginative, creative and eye-catching.
According to the Ministry of Culture, there will be 6 winners of the Comic of
the Year award this year, and each award will have a winner. One more winner of
the GCA Grand Prize will be selected from the winners of the Comic of the Year.
The total prize money is NTD 2.45 million, and the list of winners will be
announced at the award ceremony on October 28th. From October 22nd, the Golden
Comic Awards online series will be launched. For more information, please
