3. Theme of the Contest: "Laugh, Catherine's hail!"
The year 2023 is an anniversary year for Ekaterinburg. Russia's largest metropolis, the centre of the vast Sverdlovsk Region, celebrates its 300th anniversary. Yekaterinburg deservedly bears the title of the capital of the Urals, because it is located in the centre of the Ural Mountains and lies at the junction of two continents - Europe and Asia, which determines its political, economic and cultural uniqueness. The city's history dates back to the 18th century during the reforms of Peter the Great. Three centuries of turbulent Ekaterinburg history are filled with events linked to the fate of the country and the world. Ekaterinburg is the region's most important industrial, business, financial and cultural centre, and has a particularly assertive and daring character.
In the year of the 300th anniversary of Ekaterinburg we decided to look at it with respect and light irony. We invite cartoonists to share their vision of the capital of the Urals.
4. Purpose and objectives of the competition:
• To showcase Ekaterinburg as a major cultural and industrial centre open to humour and satire;
• Promoting good neighbourly relations between the peoples of the Eurasian continent and the world;
