1st Philippine Graphic/Fiction Awards Update

The complete list of finalists for both the prose and comics category have now been uploaded to Fully Booked's website. Click here to access the entries.

Hello everyone! We've been getting a lot of inquiries and questions about the 1st
Philippine Graphic/Fiction Awards so just to go through the FAQ's:

1. About the posted short listed entries, we sincerely apologize for some delays in the
postings at our website. But we've fixed up the kinks, and now you can access the prose
and comics entries at this link:

2. These short listed entries will be exhibited at the event on July 15. All these entries are
in the running for the grand prizes. Meaning, they are not just for the People's Choice
Awards.

3. The voting will be by ballot system which will be open on the whole day of July 15. We
cannot have an online voting system just to be fair (because we are wary of people who
will be clicking on their favorite entries hundreds of times like most of the online/ text
voting systems).

4. Your ballots will be given to you upon registration. As an incentive, we will be raffling
off prizes to the ballots cast.

5. The doors to the Rockwell Tent will open at 10AM. There will be a schedule of activities
the whole day leading up to the 7PM awards proper. These include an artist's corner
where renowned Filipino comics artists will be conducting workshops, autograph signings,
etc. Of course, we'll be having booths wherein you can buy related books, graphic novels
and related merchandise.

Will also have movie showings, readings of excerpts from the short listed finalists, and live
performances by OUTER HOPE and PINIKPIKAN, including fire dancing by PLANET ZIPS.
Food booths outside the tent will be available as well.

6.. Lastly, this event is FREE OF CHARGE. So everyone's invited =)

7. AND YES, Neil Gaiman has been collaborating with us with this every step of the way.
Can't divulge too much, but be prepared for some surprises =)

Again, we encourage you guys to come with your own funky original mask creations.

Seven more days fellow dreamers =) See you at the Rockwell Tent!

Cheers,
Fully Booked Management.
