About

COMINK

At a time when the Vietnamese comic market has limited “playgrounds” for the development of this industry, COMINK COMIC CONTEST was born as a great spiritual encouragement for young artists.

Our Mission is to Nurture and develop Vietnam’s creative talent, providing a platform for young creators to see their works enter into the industry mainstream. And to provide a forum for industry professionals and publishers to engage with creators.

Our Story

Comink is the brainchild of two producers – film directors Paul Brenner and Charlie Nguyen. These two have witnessed the decline in story quality in the film industry and are always wondering how to improve this problem. Seeing many talents in Vietnam across industries, especially the creative industry, these two producers did not hesitate to knock on the doors of many units and meet experts for the Comink comic creation competition this season. The first launched in 2022. The competition was warmly received and saw incredible talent and strong passions from young people.

Comink will continue this exciting platform and look to expand competitions and events to bring more opportunities to creators.
