Deadline: April 30, 2027
Caricature is an act of provocation and critique - a medium capable of defending freedom through humor. *Caminos de la Libertad* (Paths to Freedom) invites reflection and discussion on the various facets of freedom, encouraging critical thought and helping those who may not yet realize its value to recognize the importance of freedom in their own lives.
Freedom is a fundamental human right, yet efforts to curtail it have become systematic in the contemporary world.
There is no form of communication more direct or effective than caricature. Since its inception, it has served as a tool for critiquing and analyzing the reality of our world.
In an effort to foster debate surrounding freedom, Grupo Salinas is organizing this caricature contest.
