The editorial department of Weekly Shonen Jump created a new manga award titled ‘Jump Vertical Scrolling Manga’.

As the title hints, the award is for manga that can be read by scrolling through them on your smartphone without having to keep on loading or turning pages. They are specifically created to be read on smartphones. The person to win an award will receive prize money of 1 million yen and the runners-up will receive 200,000 yen. Both the first and runner-up prize winners will also have their work published on Shonen Jump+.

The first round of applications opened on 10 May 2018 and will end on 20 July 2018, 23:59 (JST) on the website of Jump Rookie. At least three participants will be chosen for the runner-up prize.
