The XXX International Festival of Satire and Humor “City of Trento“ 2022, Italy

XXX INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL

OF SATIRE AND HUMOR

“CITY OF TRENTO”

SHADOW

Dear Artists, 

The XXX International Festival of Satire and Humor “City of Trento” is, for sure, an important step: the Studio d’Arte Andromeda wants to celebrate it with an universal, timeless theme, a continuous line made of changes in direction, references, quotes and different matters. 

The SHADOW throughout history has encouraged the observation of ancient philosophers, psychoanalists, physicists and, of course, artists. 

The contest offers the fuse to light up a new gaze on this presence/absence, with the certainty that drawers and illustrators will be able to confirm and revolutionize the current theories or give new visions looking at the present days with wit, creativity and humor.

The Festas de Lisboa’22 Sardine Contest is underway

The Festas de Lisboa’22 Sardine Contest is underway and this year there are two good reasons to create some brilliant sardines: the return of the Festas de Lisboa and Parque Mayer’s hundredth anniversary celebrations. We look forward to another contest full of glamour, colour and talent.

The competition is now officially open and runs until 4 April. It’s aimed at a creative world which knows no borders: Portuguese or foreign, young or old, individual or joint entries, first-timers or returning contestants. Everyone is invited to participate in this EGEAC-promoted initiative. 

There are no barriers to competing, so let your imagination run free. In terms of creativity, the only rule is originality; let inspiration do the rest. At this 12th edition, we’re celebrating the long and rich history of Parque Mayer (the centre of bohemian Lisbon and birthplace of the high point of the Festas de Lisboa: the street parades known as the Marchas Populares) which serves as the theme for this year’s competition. 

Have you ever imagined what depictions of culture you could fit within the outline of a sardine? It’ll be a tight squeeze! “Films, parades and sardines”; “Fado, clubbing and sardines”; “Circus, dancers and sardines”; “Festivals, cabarets and sardines”; “Operetta, tango and sardines”? 

On this hundredth anniversary of Parque Mater, the Sardine will take the leading role! 

This year, Turma da Sardinha (Sardine Class) is making a return too, in a contest exclusively for children in primary or lower secondary education. And there’ll also be a prize for the coolest sardine in school. 

We’ll be selecting a total of six winning designs; five winners will receive a prize of €1500, plus the winner of Turma da Sardinha, who will receive a prize worth €2000. 

Entrants (both individuals and partnerships) can put forward a maximum of three sardines, which must be submitted by 18.00 on 4 April. 

The winning designs will be announced by 31 May.

22nd World Press Freedom Canada International Editorial Cartoon Competition 2022

22nd World Press Freedom Canada International Editorial Cartoon Competition

1. The theme for the 22nd International Editorial Cartoon Competition is: 

Silence is golden 

Cancel culture has become a source of our newest cultural cleavage. 

Whether it be on social media or at live events, 'cancelling' someone has become a modern day version of excommunication and is being used as a weapon by political partisans both left and right to discourage civil discourse and media freedom. 

In opposing systemic racism, misogyny and xenophobia, progressives feel the need to resort to extreme tactics in an attempt to be heard. 

Fearing that history is being re-written, traditionalists, for their part, use cancel culture to silence critics and whitewash history's wrongs. 

2. Three prizes will be awarded: a first prize of $1,500 plus a Certificate from the Canadian Commission for UNESCO, a second prize of $750 and a third prize of $500. All sums are in Canadian dollars. Ten additional cartoons will receive an Award of Excellence, which are not remunerated. 

3. Only one cartoon may be submitted by each participant, either in colour or black and white, but must not have won an award previously. 

4. The size of the cartoon should not exceed A4 (21 x 29.2 cm) or 8.5 x 11 inches, and should be in jpeg or pdf format at 300 dpi. 

5. The name, address, telephone number and a short biography of the participant must be included in the submission. 

6. World Press Freedom Canada reserves the right to use the winning cartoons for promotion of the Cartoon Competition. 

7. The winners of the Cartoon Competition will be announced on World Press Freedom Day on Tuesday May 3, 2022 and will be notified by e-mail.
