International Cartoon Exhibition theme "DIGNITY", Portugal

FECO PORTUGAL (Cartoonist association) and Amnesty International - (Portugal), are co-organizers, of a cartoon international exhibition, whose topic and title is : “Dignity”.
It is the intention of this initiative to call the attention of society for a crisis in values which we have been witnessing, where “HAVING” is being overestimated as up against the undermining of “BEING”.
For more information about the theme, see Demand Dignity Campaign in http://www.amnesty.org/ .
This event is not a contest; consequently there will not be any prizes or classifications.
