The Hellenic Ministry of Culture (Directorate of Fine Arts) and Greekartoon are organizing the 2nd International Cartoon Contest entitled “Future Children”. It would have been perfect that “Children” to have not only write down the concept, but also to participate to this contest. Anyhow, this job is not a “toy and a children’s fun game”… Therefore, even this job is one of the so many serious jobs that belong exclusively to the “jurisdiction” of the adults. But which “adults” and with what kind of “qualifications” are undertaking such a responsibility against “Children”? Well, the answer to be continued and discovered in the works of the artists that will be sent. In the meantime, even partially and for the sake of the record, let’s comply with our “duty and obligation” towards Children, by stating that:Children are:
The life source of a society,
Potential agents of the modern and new,
An inexhaustible and unfailing source of feelings and creative renewal,
A “delicate” social group with a sensitive - fragile psychology vulnerable to discrimination and abuse.
Thus, the aim of the Contest is to “Cartoonconstruct” the archetype philosophy, route and life of the planet “Child” to the cosmic cultural universe named Life, to join and mingle to with other planets and galaxies. This Contest is dedicated to all world children as the “Generation Next.”
