should it be in english or in tagalog?
English or Tagalog is acceptible.
Other than that would be hard to translate ^_^
is this contest the same as the indie comic contest posted on Tuesday, July 18, 2006?
I believe so. Just in case, here are the details again:

Oops, correction. These are two different contests:
Here are the comic creation contest guidelines. This is the comic book creation contest with the movie cliches theme that you'll have to submit to Comic Quest.
The Indie Comic Contest guidelines states that Indie Comic Artists can sell their comics at the KOMIKON Indie Tiangge, and opt to join the contest. You must send an email as per the guidelines to join.
Please review the guidelines to all the contests carefully. If you have further questions, just ask. ;)
