Amazons: 2nd International Cartoon Competition, Diogenes of Sinope 2023, Turkey

DIOGENES OF SINOPE, 2nd INTERNATIONAL CARTOON COMPETITION

1- The competition is open to amateur and professional artists from all over the world.

Amazons… Female warriors of ancient times. Free women who have attracted people's attention and sympathy for thousands of years. Historians such as Herodotus defined the homeland of the Amazons as North Anatolia. But the Amazons are a myth that everyone from the Baltic countries to North Africa is trying to own from one end. 

The theme of "Amazons" was indispensable for the cartoon competition held in the city of Sinop, named after the Amazon Queen Sinope. The women of Sinop continue to set an example as the free, dominant characters who best reflect the spirit of the Amazons in Anatolia...

9th KalDer Bursa International Cartoon Contest 2023, Turkey

9th KalDer Bursa International Cartoon Contest

Topic: “IN THE WORLD OF UNCERTAINITIES…” 

Anything is possible in anytime… 

Risks, opportunities, threats… 

And uncertainty… 

Nowadays people live in the world of uncertainty, and it seems that will continue… 

Impact is visible on Nature, business and economy as well. 

In order to overcome these phenomena and turn back to normal lifecycle, acting globally is crucial. Scientists, educators, civil society organizations and sector representatives draw attention to the need of personal characteristics on individuals and leaders. 

Those are respectively ability to cope with, intellectual mindset, ethic, respect, critical thinking which bring benefit to society and humanity. 

It is impossible for us to find natural sources to meet demand with our current consumption habits. It is clear that wars make it worse for humanity and our world. Livelihoods, erosion of social cohesion caused by migration, infectious diseases, environmental problems reaching foods and clean water and many other problems are continued to be governed with uncertainties without being resolved. 

In the world of uncertainties, we should be able to understand and analyze crises, the risks and opportunities. It is possible to turn uncertainties into opportunities instead of admitting as a disaster. Also leverage from uncertainty is a matter of rising rational solutions in scope of better quality for life. As a citizen of this country or this world and human being, everyone has to overcome challenge.
