Theme in CARTUNION contest international 2012 : We are electing

15 February 2012 - CARTUNION contest - "We are electing"
The International Cartoonists Club CARTUNION invites cartoonists from around the world to take part in the contest "We are electing".
Historical experience shows that the election is not only a formal democratic procedure, but also a great chance to explore the human nature. Here, at the polling station, you have a chance to watch the clash of amazing characters, to observe the cowardice and desperate insolence on one side and the civic courage of the other.
In other words, the election is the perfect reason for artists-satirists to roll up their sleeves and take up a pencil or a computer mouse.
The rules of the contest:
1. Works should be sent electronically to the following address: cartoongallery@gmail.com
2. Picture format: A3, jpg or gif. The resolution should be sufficient for high quality printing (at least 300 dpi).
3. Deadline for sending: February 15, 2012
4. The authors of the three best works will be awarded with the Honorary Diploma of the International Cartoonists Club.
5. The organizers reserve the right to publish the submitted drawings without monetary compensation.
6. Selected works will be presented on the CARTUNION site: http://www.cartoon-expo.com/. We are also planning the traveling exhibition of the best works.
Several countries have already expressed an interest in this collection. Among them are: Australia, France, Canada, China, Bulgaria, Poland.
Thank you!
Our best wishes for the New Year!

Camilo A. Triana C.: Happy Holidays 2011 - 2012

Friends and colleagues, received a fraternal embrace this holiday season and New Year, I hope that those who devote themselves to the work of thinking through drawing or the drawing reflect (to look for a decent job as the old saying hehehe) what keep doing and getting better.
Do not forget the other, Jesus said, "do not do to anyone what you do not want done to yourself," in other words means treating the other as he deserves, like yourself.
I think I want them so much.
CONGRATULATIONS!

Theme in PORTOCARTO​ON 2012 : "The rich, the poor, the protester"

The times of "crisis" are not democratic.
Inequality increases, even if solidarity is not decreasing.
Only humor can bring order to the world!
Therein is the reason for the proposed theme for the PortoCartoon 2012:
The rich, the poor, the protester”.
It is hoped a “Tsunan of indignation”?
Are we looking for new kinds of democracy?
We shall see.
But the clues are released to the excellence of the universal humour.
These are challenges for the cartoonists’ pencils.
*
The jury (chaired by George Wolinski) will choose the best works for PortoCartoon 2012!
The opportunity reinforces our wishes of a Happy New Year!
*
Come then storms of humour!
Be indignant dignifying the art!
Luís Humberto Marcos,
Director PortoCartoon
