Green Flash Comics and the Joeten-Kiyu Public Library teamed up to hold the 3rd Free Comic Book Day on Saturday. JKPL will host the event from 9am to 11:30am before it moves to GFC\u2019s store at the Joeten Superstore (formerly Price Costco) from 12nn to 7pm.<\/p>\n
There will also be a comic and Manga-themed art contest, which will incorporate elements of art education with visual arts and it will be open to all ages. JKPL\u2019s Collaborative Summer Library Programs and first-ever Magic: The Gathering Gaming Clinic will also take place.<\/p>\n
Free comic books, along with other giveaways and promotional items, will be available for distribution at JKPL on Saturday where the pre-registration begins for the JKPL CSL Program will also be held.<\/p>\n
A panel of judges will determine the top three art contest submissions. Prizes will be distributed to the top three winners.<\/p>\n
Only submission per person; art style is not limited to Manga; art style must be creature-themed, no humans; artwork must be hand-drawn on paper no larger than 8.5 x 11 inches; and completed original artwork must be submitted to JKPL no later than 5:30pm today are the guidelines for the Manga Art Contest.<\/p>\n
The following information must also be printed legibly at the back of the artwork: artist\u2019s full name, library card number, village, and current school (if applicable).<\/p>\n
Submissions will be posted on Facebook. Top selected winner will have a copy of their work posted in the library. Original work will be returned to owner.<\/p>\n
The event is similar to the nationwide FCBD event that involves the entire comic book industry with the participation of direct market comic book retail stores.<\/p>\n
Traditionally, the annual observance is held on May 4 in the mainland, but shipping delays have caused the observance in the CNMI to be scheduled for the second Saturday of June. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
