What are the chances?
I would like to know the likely hood of winning the western Viz media competition: you submit a one shot of your story which showcases your art for a possible position on the weekly Shonen
I've been drawing for about 10 years and I'm 15, I've also been writing a lot of stories with imagery for about 2 years, I'm mostly self taught in both fields but I've from others work mainly people I admire in the this field of work.

I wish you a lot of success in the contest you are applying to ! It sounds exciting and part of the excitement truly is wondering if you'll win. It's not accurate to say what your chances would be for any contest. I would encourage you to enter the competition, but don't stop there, enter all the competitions you can find. The more you enter, the more you may be selected. Don't let anything discourage you. Stay motivated and focused on the art and stories you love to create. I've left a link below for you.
Some other competitions you can enter would be the Kyoto International Manga Anime contest, and the Manga Contest,
You certainly have much experience and have probably compiled a great portfolio already, so my advice is to not dwell on that one contest, keep up your creativity every way you can. Continue to draw and create stories to add to your portfolio or use for contests as they come about.
I wish you all the best !
