The main activities and guests will have their own original stickers available during the festival, ready to stick in the program or/and to get an autograph on. All this will be offered to visitors having the printed program.
It is an artistic contest taking place DURING the festival. Visitors can witness the creation process of every artist and therefore discover their universe in live.
All artists having a stand at Polymanga must participate.
During Polymanga's first day (Friday 19 April), at the opening, the artists will know the topic. 2h later, the first artists will be randomly picked and will have to start the Arting-Spirit contest on the artistic platforms dedicated for the occasion, outside their artist stands.
Each artist will have 2h, one by one, to submit his creation on CLIP STUDIO PAINT, thanks to a stylus and a public video connection. Their creation process will be released on-live during the festival and then on the internet and social networks.
On Monday 22 April, a jury will judge each creation secretly. The one that will get the higher grade will win the contest. The winner will earn 1600CHF, the 2nd 1000CHF, the 3rd 500CHF, the 4th 250CHF and the 5th 100CHF. The Polymanga reward is 500CHF.
The winners will be announced publicly during the pubic ceremony in which every artist will briefly explain his artistic process.
TADA!

When we talk about the history of videogames we should not forget about portable consoles. The famous Game Boy celebrates its 30th birthday this year. It is time to rethink the story that change the world of entertainment forever!
Except for maybe its creator, Florent Gorges is the man who knows how to tell the history of Nintendo best.
Florent Gorges is author, translator/interpreter but a publisher as well. He wrote many books on the history of video games ("l'histoire de Nintendo"), official biographies (Yoshitaka Amano, Suda51, etc.) and translated hundreds of mangas in French (The Legend of Zelda for example). He runs the publishing house of Omaké Books, who are specialized in pop culture.

CONCERT - MONDAY 22 APRIL (EASTER)
Cécile Corbel (Arrietty - Studio Ghibli) will give an exclusive concert of her biggest hits and her new songs, with her beautiful voice and her talented musicians at her side. Don't miss it at Polymanga!
Tell stories on stage through my songs and play for you traveling melodies, are the two thinks I like the most in my harpist-troubadour life. This life helps me to keep this "magic small spark" inside me, the precious one that reminds each one of us our childhood and bring us joy.
This new album follows the path I have been taking so far, from the wild point of Finistère where I grew up, to Japan, this incredible country with which I developed strong bonds since the soundtrack composition of Arrietty animated movie from Ghibli studios.
You will find the Celtic lands as well, Ireland with its gypsies, children voices coming from a dream, and wonderful women songs who do me the honor to sing with me : the japanese woman Misaki Iwasa and the Quebecer Natasha St Pier.
This album is made of tumbleweed melodies, of songs that will make you dance, travel, grow-up, cry sometimes, dream certainly, and fall asleep after a long day...
Like the ocean that sometimes dances, scolds or cradles, "Enfant du Vent" is full of colours and emotion.
It is an happy and traveller album, maternal as well, since for the 3 last years, my musician life has been enlightening by a little boy who gives me wings and constant inspiration.
L'Enfant du Vent is him, me maybe as well, and you for sure who kept a part of childish spirit. Little ones and grown-up ones, on wind wings, I hope you will let you carry by these 19 new songs.
