Reply from Mr Seyran Caferli, Cartoon News Center website director

Mr Seyran Caferli, the director of Cartoon News Center website, sent the following message below requesting me to publish it on this blog, caricaturque.
In his message, Mr Caferli writes that the announcement of the International Restaurant Cartoon Contest arrived in his e-mail box sometime ago and he demanded extra info from the organizers while publishing the present info on his website.
Although promised by the organisers, the extra info has not arrived yet, and with the right notice of my previous post yesterday, Mr Caferli says he has deleted the info about the doubtful Restaurant Cartoon Contest from his website.
Many thanks for his concern and kind answer.
Kemal Ozyurt.

Dear Tawan Chuntra,
Thank you for the participation in the World Gallery of cartoons and congratulations for the award.
The participants who win the Special Award, as you are, are granted with the Special Award Plaque, beside the Catalog (available for all selected participants). We have sent the Catalogs first to all the participants, and afterwards we'll send the Plaque as well.
Sorry for the delay. We are looking forward our future cooperation

Unfortunately, we notice that World Gallery of Cartoons Skopje is among the blacklisted cartoon contests by FECO: In this page you could find contests where the cartoonists rights are not respected because the organisers claim copyrights:
http://www.fecocartoon.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=27&Itemid=42
Of course, there is still hope:
Hopefully these contest rules will change and then, these contests announcements will join the main contest list !

And some fake cartoon contest news again released by only Mr Seyran Caferli's Cartoon News Centre: The International "Restaurant" Cartoon Contest 2012 !!!
Unfortunately Mr George Licurici re-published the info about that fake competition although with a question mark about the organizer. Somebody (with the e-mail address from China !!!) needs original ideas of you honest cartoonits about food and restaurant to copy from! For what? For nothing!
Serious website editors will not promote that false competition I hope and must protest the person behind it and he is already condemned by many editors and cartoonists for sure indeed.
