The 30th International Biennial Exhibition of Humour in Art, Tolentino 2019-2020, Italy

30th Biennale Internazionale dell'Umorismo nell'Arte
Tolentino November 23, 2019 - January 26, 2020
REGULATIONS
ART. 1 - SCOPE
The Municipality of Tolentino convenes and organises the 30th Biennale Internazionale dell'Umorismo nell'Arte (30th Festival of Humour in Art) – a prize contest focused on humour in art.
The contest is divided into two sections:
“Premio Internazionale Città di Tolentino” (“City of Tolentino International Award”) - for humorous art on the subject of “Hatred"
Hatred is a deep-rooted feeling.
Hatred expresses passionate repulsion.
Hatred yearns to destroy the most despised thing.
Hatred makes you feel a decent human being whilst destroying the thing you loathe.
Hatred can be directed at a nation, an ideology, a faith, a race, a policy, an individual.
Hatred allows for finding the bond that strengthens social cohesion in a common enemy.
Hatred is fiercely spread through social media.
Hate speech thrives on social media and via the internet a large part of society is infiltrated by contempt and resentment.
The theme of the 30th Biennial forces us to take a critical look at the culture of vileness in contemporary society through the lens of humour which, albeit futile and purposeless, can play with the most disturbing stereotypes in modern times.
“Premio Luigi Mari” (“Luigi Mari Award ”) for caricatures of illustrious figures.
The contest comprises:
a selection of the competing entries by a qualified jury. The artworks so singled out will be exhibited at the venue of the 30th Biennale Internazionale dell'Umorismo nell'Arte , from November 23, 2019 throughout January 26, 2020.
publication of a complimentary catalogue that will be presented to the authors of the selected works;

The 36th Aydin Dogan International Cartoon Competition 2019, Turkey

36TH AYDIN DOGAN INTERNATIONAL
CARTOON COMPETITION PARTICIPATION RULES
• Aydin Dogan International Cartoon Competition is organized every year in Turkey by Aydın Dogan Foundation.
• The competition is open to the professional and amateur cartoonists from all over the world.
• The Jury is composed of the international members. The Jury will meet in November 2019.
• The award ceremony of 36th Aydın Dogan International Cartoon Competition will be organized in June 2020 in Istanbul.
“Empowered Girls, Empowered Futures” Award
While half of the world population is still underrepresented in the business, politics, science and academy and discriminated, it is impossible to turn the ideals of justice, freedom and equality into a reality. Only if women are empowered, the world can be more healthy, peaceful and prosperous.
One of the most essential steps towards eradicating the gender inequality which still prevails even in the most developed countries in the world is the girls’ education. It is an absolute must that all the girls in the world have access to uninterrupted, quality education so that they can make their own decisions, direct their own lives and they can reach the positions they deserve. However, this is not enough. Beyond access to education, each of us are responsible of providing all the girls and young women with the opportunities to realize their potentials inside and outside of the schools, to enable them to develop their knowledge and skills throughout their lives and to remove all the barriers they face when they participate in the workforce.
Aydın Doğan Foundation, being aware of this responsibility, works in the field of girls’ education and empowerment.

Winners in the 22nd Euro-kartoenale Kruishoutem 2019, "The Wall"

TURKISH DOGAN ARSLAN WINS EURO-KARTOENALE 2019
The Turkish cartoonist Dogan Arslan did win the 22nd edition of the Euro-kartoenale Kruishoutem, Belgium. With his endless wall he is reacting to the problems of refugees around the world. The second prize was for Luis Mecho from Costa Rica, followed by the Iranian Jalal Pirmarzanad who won the Bronze award. The winning cartoonists got their prizes on Saturday at the prize-giving ceremony in Kruishoutem, Belgium.
"The Wall" was the theme of this year’s contest and no less than 985 cartoonists from over 87 countries (a new record!) sent in their works. The international jury - with cartoonist Luc Descheemaeker (O-Sekoer) as president – had to choose among 2750 cartoons and they liked the work by Dogan Arslan the best, also because he combined the theme and a worldwide current topic of the refugees.
Besides the top three winners, there were also prizes for the French Jean-Loïc Belom, who won a personal exhibition in the European Cartoon Center next year, the Polish Krawczak Andrzej (Best Entry of the EU) and Herwig Beyaert (Best Belgian).
A selection of the best 150 cartoons can be seen until the 30th of June 2019 during the exhibition in the European Cartoon Center: border walls, restriction of freedom, walls between people, social media, … these are all topics that were developed by the cartoonists. From July on a smaller exhibition of 60 works will travel around to different cities in Belgium.
