9TH ALANYA INTERNATIONAL
CARTOON COMPETITION SPECIFICATIONS
The International Mediterranean Cartoon Competition, which was first held in 2001 and last held in 2008, will be reorganized for the 9th time in 2025 - after 17 years - under its new name of Alanya International Cartoon Competition, in cooperation with Alanya Municipality and Alanya Tourism Promotion Foundation (ALTAV).
SUBJECT OF THE COMPETITION: LIVING IN A WORLD WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
The Turkish Language Association has determined the concept of 2024 as “crowded loneliness”. While the world is preparing for a new order with artificial intelligence, it can be considered normal for the old people of the planet to struggle. Since we are now closer neighbors with our smart devices supported by artificial intelligence, we may feel lonely in crowds. Because technological developments that are accelerating day by day negatively affect our human relations the most.
Although cultures are different, we know that neighborliness is highly valued in every society. In the old world where technology did not take over our lives to this extent, weren’t our neighbors the closest proof that we were not alone in crowds?
Artificial intelligence-supported technologies are an inseparable part of our lives today and they don’t seem to have any intention of slowing down. As the old people of the new order, we continue to live in a world with artificial intelligence - with its pros and cons - and to get used to our new neighbors in this new world a little more every day.
