"Football" is the theme for the 6th International Cartoon Contest, Denizli 2026, Turkey

T.R. DENİZLİ METROPOLITAN MUNICIPALITY
6. INTERNATIONAL CARTOON CONTEST
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Subject: FOOTBALL 
Football is a universal form of expression that transcends languages, cultures, and borders. Beyond being merely a sport, it serves as a powerful social mirror that simultaneously embodies joy, sorrow, competition, and solidarity. Bringing millions of people together in shared excitement, this game sometimes becomes a child’s dream, sometimes the pride of a city, and at other times the collective emotion of an entire nation. 
The qualification of our national football team for the FIFA World Cup, to be held in June–July 2026, once again highlights the enthusiasm and unifying power that football creates in our country. This important achievement is not only a sporting success, but also a symbol of hope, unity, and shared dreams. 
As Denizli Metropolitan Municipality, we have chosen “Football” as the theme of this year’s international cartoon contest, aiming to interpret this great excitement through the universal language of art. Cartooning is an art form that, through the sharp perspective of humor, reveals social realities, provokes thought, and encourages reflection. Football, in turn, offers an endless source of stories that enrich this perspective: the struggles on the field, the passion of the stands, the pursuit of justice, the spirit of fair play, global unity, and at times the contradictions that remain in the shadow of the game. 
This contest provides artists with the opportunity to interpret not only the visible aspects of football, but also the human stories, cultural interactions, and universal values behind it. Participants are expected to approach football’s unifying power, its critical dimensions, and the human condition through their own original perspectives. 
Our cartoon contest aims to strengthen cultural dialogue by bringing together artists from different geographies on a shared intellectual ground. We believe that the works shaped around the theme of “Football” will contribute to peace, friendship, and a culture of coexistence. 
With the unifying power of art, the universal language of football comes together in this contest. We invite all cartoon artists to take part in this great gathering.

6th International Cartoon Competition, Muğla 2026, Turkey, with theme: Love / Deep Love

MUĞLA METROPOLITAN MUNICIPALITY
6TH INTERNATIONAL CARTOON COMPETITION
SPECIFICATIONS
THEME: LOVE / DEEP LOVE
Love is expressed as “an attachment and care for something.” Deep love, on the other hand, is “a profound affection for something.” 
Situated at the heart of life, love is the greatest human emotion that makes the world a more liveable place. A person who values love benefits not only themselves but also their community, society, and humanity as a whole. This is because love arises through “care, responsibility, respect, and empathetic understanding.” It is this feeling that makes the world more liveable. 
Forms of love—such as love for people, nature, or animals—are in fact reflections of one’s love for oneself. 
Loving nature and animals involves protecting and caring for them, thereby creating an awareness of the responsibility to leave a liveable world for future generations. 
Human love, meanwhile, is expressed through accepting differences, valuing others’ happiness, and offering assistance in times of need. 
The strongest foundation for societies to live in peace and prosperity is undoubtedly human love. 
The root cause of unrest, conflicts, and wars across the world today, including in our own communities, is a “lack of love.” In a world devoid of love, anger and conflict are inevitable. It is only when love prevails that just, peaceful, and strong societies can emerge. Individuals who possess love for humanity, society, the environment, nature, and animals can build a world that is harmonious, happy, and peaceful. This competition has been organised to bring the importance of LOVE / DEEP LOVE once again to the forefront both nationally and internationally. 
We hope that you will support this project—where we aim to bring together the universal power of Love and the universal power of cartoon—with your original works; we wish you success and extend our thanks for your contributions.
