Sho-You will be an e-artbook released in September 2012 featuring stunning artwork from the best manga and anime artists within the online community. The e-artbook is completely free for anyone to read and will feature artist depictions of themselves as magical girls, in a whimsical adaptation of the discovery of their creative souls, to raise awareness for a non-profit charity called Artists for Charity. AFC supports and teaches artisan skills to orphans suffering with HIV in Ethiopia. In the same way that the children save themselves with art, the e-artbook will demonstrate how art gives an artist's creative soul the power to touch and give joy to others.

The artist who produces the most impressive work will be selected to have his or her work featured on the cover of Sho-You, and will receive free commissions, features, and a print of his or her submission. Everyone who submits art work to Sho-You will recieve online features on deviantart, tumblr, facebook and the Sho-You homepage [link] The qualifying submissions will be chosen by an appropriate panel of five judges.

If you are interested in submitting artwork to be featured in Sho-You please follow the link to Sho-You's homepage where you will find more information regarding submission dates and criteria. If you have any questions that have not been answered, feel free to post a question on this journal, blog, or note me.

If you would be so kind as to spread this proposal in the form or a journal or post online, we would be very grateful. If you would like to offer features or other rewards to the qualifying submissions, please contact me and we can discuss your interest.
