Launch of the 6th Edition of Fartoon – Faro International Cartoon Festival FARO 1540 – Association for the Defense and Promotion of Faro's Environmental and Cultural Heritage, after previous Faro cartoon exhibitions were very well received by the public and artists, announces the opening of the registration period for the 6th edition of Fartoon – Faro International Cartoon Exhibition. Registration is open from December 29, 2024 until May 31, 2025. All national or foreign citizens can participate, individually or in groups. Registration is free and all they need to do is fill out a registration form and send their work via email to the organization – faro1540@gmail.com. Each participant can compete with a maximum of 3 works. The works will be evaluated by a suitable jury composed of 5 members. The works selected by the jury are on display in an exhibition taking place in Faro (in different locations) between July and December 2025, and are expected to be shown in other municipalities in the Algarve. 
The 6th Edition of Fartoon - Faro International Cartoon Exhibition, promoted by FARO1540 - Association for the Defense and Promotion of Faro's Environmental and Cultural Heritage, will be under the theme “Thinking Freedom, Building Democracy”. This event, which has become a landmark in the region's cultural scene, will take place in the context of the celebrations of the 50th anniversary of April 25, 1974, a historic moment that returned freedom and democracy to Portugal. 
The theme of this edition invites artists from all over the world to reflect, through humor and creativity, on the importance of preserving and caring for democracy. More than a celebration, the festival is an opportunity to reinforce democratic values ​​and principles and promote an intergenerational discussion about the future of this vital achievement. 
At a time when the world faces new challenges to fundamental freedoms, it is essential to remember the legacy of April 25 and the collective commitment to affirm democracy as a pillar of society. Fartoon emerges as a platform for reflection and expression, where cartoon art acts as a universal language capable of raising awareness and uniting different generations around a common cause. 
“This year, more than ever, we want to highlight the importance of taking care of our democracy so that it remains alive and strong for future generations. Cartoons play an essential role in helping us reflect on these issues critically, but also with lightness and humor,” highlighted Paulo de Oliveira Botelho, Chairman of the Board of Faro1540. 
Since its first edition, Fartoon has promoted freedom of expression and creativity through graphic humor, with the participation of artists from different countries. This year, the festival is expected to bring together dozens of works that address the theme “Thinking Freedom, Building Democracy”, offering the public a unique experience of art and reflection.
