English or Tagalog is acceptible.

I believe so. Just in case, here are the details again:

Indie Comic Contest

An Indie tiangge will be available for all those who would like to sell their independent comics on the day of the event subject to terms that will be specified upon notification of intent to join.

Being part of the indie tiangge entitles the work to be an official entry to the contest.

Judges will be judging all the works in the tiangge on the day itself.

Artist must set aside two (2) extra copies of their indies for the judges.

Indie comics that have previously been submitted in any similar contests are automatically disqualified.

George S:

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. ;)
