1st Kaktus Cartoon Award 2023
The School of Disobedience (Schule des Ungehorsams), founded by Austrian Cartoonist Gerhard Haderer, is together with Austrian law firm Haslinger / Nagele Rechtsanwälte announcing the first Kaktus Cartoon Award.
A prize that is awarded to international cartoonists who take a critical and humorous look at our society.
Cartoons are an important and effective tool to show political or social grievances. The drawings can be grasped quickly, bring complex content visually to the point and through their humorous and exaggerated presentation, and also be entertaining.
With the Kaktus Cartoon Award we would like to promote this art form and give cartoonists a stage.
Kaktus 2023 - CLIMATE CHANGE
The first Kaktus Cartoon Award 2023 is dedicated to the topic CLIMATE CHANGE.
We can see the effects of climate change everywhere - locally and globally.
It is high time to change our behavior to avert the worst.
Cartoons can make a convincing contribution by making grievances visible and comprehensible. They can inspire us to new ideas and solutions.
The Kaktus will be awarded to the best artists with cartoons on climate change.
Prizes: 1st place: 2.500 €; 2nd place: 1.500 €; 3rd place: 1.000 €
Kaktus 2023 - CLIMATE JUSTICE
As part of the Cartoon Award a prize will be awarded in the category "Cartoon & Law" donated by Austrian law firm Haslinger / Nagele Rechtsanwälte
The Kaktus "Cartoon & Law" is dedicated to the topic CLIMATE JUSTICE
Who is primarily responsible for climate change and who are the most affected?
Does Law encourage or block the necessary transformation?
Do protests work and do they make a difference? Is there justice?
The Kaktus in the category „Cartoon & Law" will be awarded to the best artist with cartoons on climate justice.
Prize: 2.500 €
All cartoonists on this earth are invited to submit their best cartoons on Climate Change and/or Climate Justice.
