The theme of the 4th Bobritsa Cartoon Competition is
LAKE.
Although the name of the contest is BEAVERS LAUGH (in Ukrainian language the name of the village Bobritsa originates from "beaver"), this does NOT mean that your works should be only about beavers. First of all, they should be original, smart and funny, please do not restrict yourself by beavers as heroes!
But we have our SPECIAL BEAVER AWARD for beavers’ theme as well!
So, if the "heroes" of your artwork are beavers your work shall be considered for BOTH (a) main theme awards and (b) special award BEAVER AWARD nominations with a chance to win both of them!
