The 23rd World Press Freedom Canada International Editorial Cartoon Competition 2023

23rd World Press Freedom Canada International Editorial Cartoon Competition 2023

The theme for the 23rd International Editorial Cartoon Competition is: 

Free speech or free for all 

Intimidation and disinformation have become weapons in the arsenal of politicians and those who seek to control the media narrative. 

Donald Trump’s rude behaviour and open disdain for rivals, the media and government institutions has encouraged others, such as Jair Bolsonaro, to emulate him. 

On average, Trump lied twenty times per day on Twitter and Facebook, bypassing mainstream media organizations that are responsible for checking facts. 

Social media companies profit by creating algorithms that divide us and reward fear and anger, rather than accurate information. 

Has mainstream media been derelict in its mission as it struggles to remain profitable? How can we filter abuse without curtailing free speech? And if that is at all possible, who would moderate the moderators? 

Competition rules 

Three prizes will be awarded: 

First prize worth $1500 plus a Certificate from the Canadian Commission for UNESCO 

Second prize worth $750 

Third prize worth $500
