Tezuka AwardThe Tezuka Award (since 1971) is a semi-annual manga award offered by the Japanese publisher Shueisha (集英社), under the auspices of its Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. It is named after the manga pioneer Osamu Tezuka and is designed to cultivate new artists. The prize for a top Selected Work is worth one million Japanese yen and for a lesser but still worthy work, half-a-million yen. These cash prizes may not be awarded (as is often the case) if the judges deem none of the candidates worthy. Historically the awardees have been in their early twenties. Some have gone on to become professionals. See also: Osamu Tezuka Culture Award
