7th International cartoon competition, Kolasin 2022, Montenegro

International caricature festival "Kolašin 2022" has announced the 7th International cartoon competition. 
Rules: 
THEME OF THE FESTIVAL: Compromise and Tolerance and Free Theme. 
Participants can submit a maximum of three papers based on the topic. Six /6/ works in total. 
Every work must contain the name and surname of the author, the state and the serial number of the work. Example: JOHN SMITH, USA 1 JOHN SMITH ,USA 2... 
The first three papers must be on the given topic. 
The theme of this year's festival is compromise and tolerance. This is a very broad topic, and the main goal is to point out with the messages of world artists that any misunderstanding, dispute or conflict between two people or two countries can be resolved by dialogue, conversation or negotiations. By presenting the facts and looking at things objectively, a compromised solution to every problem will be reached. No disagreement is resolved by physical conflict or war. Because, in the end, every war always ends at the negotiating table. Then why so many human and material victims? Why does a man use force when he has reason and is valid for a human and civilized being? That's why this festival wants to address this question and seek adequate answers from artists-caricaturists around the world. Answers that are above all lucid, witty and intelligent. 
Artists from all over the world will respond to this given topic through caricature and powerful messages. The best works will go around the world and send a message around the globe. The best works will be rewarded with First, Second and Third prizes, which will be in money and in the form of trophies and diplomas. We will also award five special prizes - diplomas. It is yours to think and create. Ours is to reward the best works. Best of luck to everyone! 
Rules on technique and scale of work: Free. 
Send the works to the mailing address: 
Cultural Center Kolasin 81210, Montenegro-Montenegro  /for international caricature festival/ 
AWARDS: 
FIRST PRIZE: 500 euros, trophy and diploma

European Cartoon Award 2022 is open for entries

European Press Prize and Studio Europa Maastricht announce the opening of the third edition of the European Cartoon Award, on May 9, 2022. 
From May 9 to June 20, 2022, cartoonists can submit their work for the third edition of the European Cartoon Award. Submitted cartoons must have been realized between January 1, 2021, and May 9, 2022, and published with a media outlet from a country within the Council of Europe, Belarus, and Russia. Founded in 2019, by the European Press Prize and Studio Europa Maastricht, the European Cartoon Award has one of the highest monetary prizes for cartoonists, granting its winner a prize of 10,000 euros. 
The cartoons can be submitted at this link: https://europeancartoonaward.com/ 
About the European Cartoon Award 
The European Cartoon Award was founded in 2019 by European Press Prize and Studio Europa Maastricht to encourage cartoonists in their essential work for freedom of expression. 
"Cartoonists are an 'endangered species': they have to deal with increasing resistance, censorship, and even threats and violence. Their space is shrinking, both in available publications and in the themes they can tackle. That is not only happening far away but also right here in Europe,” said the Director of the European Press Prize, Thomas van Neerbos. 
Essential for democracy 
Cartoons are an indispensable part of the public debate. In the universal language of the image, they transcend borders and put their finger on the sore spot. Averse to conventions, challenging, creative, and playful, cartoons are the hallmark of an open European society. 
Gonny Willems, director of Studio Europa Maastricht: “In these unprecedented times of polarization, there is a lack of understanding for the perspective of the other. Cartoons can offer an opening to the truth of the other with irony, humor, and sharpness.” 
Submissions 
Cartoonists can submit their work from May 9, the deadline is June 20, 2022. Submitted cartoons must have been realized between January 1 2021 and May 9 2022 and published in European media, online or offline. The award ceremony for this second edition will take place in September 2022. The cartoons can be submitted at this link: https://europeancartoonaward.com/ .
10-member jury 
The jury for the 2022 edition consists, among others, of the winner of the European Cartoon Award 2021: Tom Janssen. He will work together with British journalist Janet Anderson, American cartoonist Jen Sorensen, Danish cartoonist Niels bo Bojesen and French journalist Catherine André. Five cartoonists - last year's finalists - will be now part of the 2022 preparatory committee. Their names will be announced in the upcoming weeks. 
About the European Press Prize 
The mission of the European Press Prize is to encourage and guarantee quality journalism in Europe, especially in times when quality and freedom of the press are under pressure. The European Press Prize was founded by seven independent European foundations with strong media connections, all of which count excellence and public service as part of their collective challenge. 
About Studio Europa Maastricht 
Studio Europa Maastricht is a center of expertise for Europe-related debate and research founded in 2018 and supported by the partners of the Maastricht, Working on Europe program: Maastricht University, the Province of Limburg, and the City of Maastricht. Together we aim to position Maastricht, the capital of Limburg, as a meeting place for citizen dialogue and debate and establish a center of excellence for research on Europe and European integration.

Maintheme 2022 : The afterlife
These last years in which a corona virus and a new war sows death and destruction, it may be appropriate to pause for a moment and consider the belief or disbelief in an afterlife. 
Archaeologists were able to show that Neanderthals before us already harboured the idea of an afterlife and they ritually prepared their dead for the journey. 
The ancient Egyptians made every effort during their lifetime to achieve eternal bliss in Amenti and developed mummification and at least seven concepts of spiritual qualities associated with being human. 
During the Middle Ages death was common due to plagues and wars. Indulgences, pilgrimages and much praying could help increase your chances, possibly after simmering for a while in purgatory, to feast on rice pudding with golden spoons between angels and saints... 
In Hellas, the gods resembled muscular brats, quickly displeased supermen and super women. All of it the opposite of what the Asian Buddha promoted as the path to detachment , reincarnation and Nirvana. 
Heaven, Paradise, Nirvana, Eternal Hunting Grounds, Amenti, Valhalla are all man-made places for the mystery that awaits us and gives hope to the faithful. At best, that belief is a reason to comply ethical rules that enable us to live together without major calamities. This is more than necessary, by the way, given the overpopulation and the shrinking carrying capacity of our beautiful planet.

Without a doubt, the years from 2020 are already part of the history books. The world has gone - and is going - through a difficult and important moment, which directly reflects on consumption habits. The Covid-19 pandemic has arrived and completely changed the way to consume. The concept of shopping with a preference for digital channels has become a reality, and the world has started to shop online, many for the first time. Social isolation and the home office were accompanied by the habit of thinking and researching very well about the items that are necessary to live with maximum quality and comfort at home. At the same time, impulse purchases increased as people looked for something to emotionally fulfill them in a context of chaos and uncertainty. 
Consumers increasingly digital 
Even living in the information age, not all jobs and studies were in digital format before Covid-19. With social isolation, people started to live the experience of studying and working at home, through various platforms that help in communication, which has been strengthening and strengthening the relationship with the digital world. In this scenario with reduced possibilities on the one hand, consumers find alternatives on the other. The option was to better understand the virtual shopping environment, starting to trust more in the security of their payments and delivery times, for example. In addition, entertainment applications and platforms needed to innovate their technologies and forms of content production to meet new expectations of a more digitally active population – as well as commerce companies in general, which needed to adapt the physical environment to the online one. 
This is a trend that will remain and create hybrid paths. In the new context, companies intend to keep working from home in an integral way, as well as courses, medical care and other services. In addition, the comfort of shopping without leaving home must continue with great force. 
The news changes daily, which means that not everything is known about the “new normal” quickly. But the fact is that, with the rise of this type of sales and changes in consumption habits, the relationship between consumers and companies has changed forever. Welcome to new consumption habits in the digital world. 
h) In addition to the prizes for the categories, special prizes may be awarded, offered by our supporters, during the registration and selection process. 
i) Along the registered artwork, the artist must attach a complete registration form with legibly writing. lt is also requested reduced curriculum and photo, for registration in the CEDHU's data base. To make sure your work is original, it is suggested to the artist to check on specialized websites if there is no match of image, text and / or situation of your work with another already published in newspapers, magazines or websites. If there is confirmation of plagiarism the work will be automatically disqualified.
