Huh. If you're artistically inclined, this might be worth investigating: according to AnimeNewsNetwork, the Italian fashion label Prada has announced a Manga-themed contest in celebration of its new "Swing" collection of 1950s-inspired sunglasses. (Which are, by the way, super cute.) According to their site, participants must create a comic storyboard featuring a "fantasy heroine" decked out in said eyewear and submit the storyboard by August 31st. The winner will receive 5,000 euros. You can check out the details on the official Prada website, under the "Projects" section. Good luck!
