Komiket Inc. is a non-profit organization in the Philippines that started organizing comic art markets since 2015, then published comic anthologies in 2017 to promote independent comic creators to the general public. During the pandemic, Komiket opened an online bookstore to make local comics available nationwide, and pivoted to publishing more graphic novel titles, such as the Official Selection of the Philippine International Comics Festival (PICOF) to grow readership for independent comics. Following an indie film festival format, the selected PICOF titles are developed in a Creator’s Lab, and launched in time for the online festival, which connected local readers to creators, publishers, and comics festivals from around the world.
Komiket already has some important awards such like National Children’s Book Awards (2022), Filipino Reader’s Choice Award (2022), or the National Book Award for Best Graphic Novel (2022 and 2023).
