16th PortoCartoon World Festival 2014, Portugal

Dear Cartoonist,
The water is a key to life on the planet: Living Water / Living Earth!
This is the theme of the 16th PortoCartoon-World Festival 2014.
Ecology, environmental protection, biodiversity are concepts that do not dispense the water as a central element. When we talk about water, we speak of a common heritage of mankind.
Water is becoming not only scarce, as well as the target of a global wave of privatization. All over the world, many countries are losing supremacy over the water.
Water - 'the blue gold' of the 21st century - is no more than merchandise on the logic of the multinationals.
The dangers are on the agenda. Many researchers and movements of active citizenship have launched the alert. All very little. The Humor ALERT is missing.
PortoCartoon 2014 also presents two special Caricature awards:
Caricature Award Nelson Mandela and Caricature Award Álvaro Siza Vieira.
One to distinguish the role of Mandela, Nobel Peace Prize in 1993, and the first black leader to assume the presidency of South Africa (1994-1999), after more than 25 years in prison under the apartheid regime.
The other is to celebrate the work of one of the most famous architect of our times. Álvaro Siza Vieira won more than thirty international awards, including the Pritzker Prize / Chicago (considered the "Nobel of architecture').
We will be looking forward to receiving your most appreciated participation, with our best wishes for a 2014 full of humour,
Luís Humberto Marcos

5th International Cartoon Competition Berlin 2014, Germany

Yet for the fifth time the International Cartoon Competition Berlin on the topics of "ELECTRIC MOBILE" and "BERLIN WALL” takes place under the direction of Valeriu Kurtu and in cooperation with the LIMES Image Agency.
The partners of this year's competition are the Berlin Agency for Electromobility eMO and the Museum STORY OF BERLIN.
By 1912, there were far more ELECTROMOBILES than vehicles with internal combustion engines. Electric cars were popular in the late 19th century and early 20th century, until advances in internal combustion engine technology and mass production of cheaper gasoline vehicles led to a decline in the use of electric drive vehicles. A renaissance in electric vehicle manufacturing has occurred due to the decline of global oil reserves. The European Union will announce plans to ban all fossil fuel-powered cars in Europe by 2050. Yet limited crude oil resources and the climate change are forcing a change in thinking.
The 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall will come on 9 November 2014. After several weeks of civil unrest, the East German government announced that all GDR citizens could visit West Germany and West Berlin. The anniversary is an occasion to offer this historical event as a special theme for the contest. The peaceful revolution went down in history and current events show that the human desire for freedom is endless.

2nd International Niels Bugge Cartoon Award 2014, Denmark

Theme explanation: Oceans are in our hands
OCEANS
Human being, as all life on earth, came from the stars and landed through the ocean. Ocean is our very first foster mother, much more than the land where we, now, cut trees and plant transgenic corn. But, as we maltreat land, we have been maltreating our spring of life and now oceans are quite ill because of our activities : less fish but more plastic, less pure water but more oil, less coral but more garbage.
That’s why today, not tomorrow, we must do our best to save oceans of ourselves if we still want to have a future on this planet. So, to help people to get more conscience of that, we propose to our friends cartoonists all over the world to participate in our contest on the theme « Oceans ». Obviously, we will do our best to diffuse this exhibition as large as possible.
So, please be great, be free, be creative and be fun as usual and send us one or two cartoons without words about this very important subject for life on earth : Oceans.
