Below is the message (giving the participation conditions of a cartoonet competition) forwarded to me by a cartoonist friend in Turkey. The message is sent to his website mailbox.
Well, could you tell who is responsible for this competition? Is there an organisation, an association, a municipality, a city council, a gallery, a website, or a cartoonist behind this event? If there is, why don’t they show up?
Please remember what happened with the "Ethiopia cartoon contest 2009": http://arescuba.blogspot.com/2009/04/ethiopia-cartoon-fraud.html
All carried out through internet: they even revealed(!) winners, and reliable cartoon sites did not hesitate to announce the results!
There are few other fake competitions in the net nowadays I’m afraid. Please take notice and beware the cartoon collectors through cartoonet competitions. They are exploiting honest people’s priceless work! Some body is stealing honest artists’ invaluable talent, ideas, and gags!
Check the NEW FECO Model Regulations for Cartoon Competitions (2009), especially the PS note in the bottom lines: http://caricaturque.blogspot.com/2010/02/feco-model-regulations-for-cartoon.html
