Boligan protests the false cartoonet competitions

CONCURSOS PIRATAS
Hace algunas semanas Irancartoon nos alertaba y denunciaba en su website sobre concursos poco creíbles refiriéndose específicamente a “The first sun shine International Cartoon contest -- 2010 Japan”, todo indicaba que se trataba de un concurso fraudulento, pirata y que ellos mismos promovieron en su website .
Aproximadamente 1 año atrás sucedió lo mismo con el concurso "First Ethiopia cartoon contest 2009", denunciado posteriormente por el colega Ares y también promovido por importantes sitios de humor del mundo resultando también ser un fraude.
En las últimas semanas he estado recibiendo e-mails de colegas preguntando por otro supuesto concurso y que en esta ocasión aparecía mi nombre como miembro del jurado, se trata de “The First blue sky international cartoon contest/ 2010/ Spain”.
Realmente a principios de año recibí un breve correo que decía que había sido seleccionado como miembro del jurado de dicho concurso, junto a otro grupo de conocidos colegas, inmediatamente respondí pidiendo más información sobre el certamen y datos sobre el trabajo que realizaría, pero no recibí respuesta alguna. Las fechas anunciadas por el mismo vencieron y otros colegas del supuesto jurado están en la misma situación de incomunicación. Obviamente se trata de otro concurso pirata que logra colocarse y arrebatarnos nuestro tiempo y nuestros dibujos, son varios los métodos usados como: ofrecer jugosos premios, tratar de colocar sus convocatorias en sitios de humor reconocidos y serios, mandar algún correo a los “jurados” para aparentar ser formales y ganar tiempo, usar nombres de cartonistas conocidos como miembros del jurado para ganar credibilidad, etc.
Nunca habíamos tenido casos de este tipo y confiábamos y hacíamos eco en nuestros espacios de todas las convocatorias que recibíamos con el afán de que los demás colegas las conocieran y pudieran participar.
Nosotros como dibujantes al verlas anunciadas en esos sitios conocidos ya dábamos por hecho que el evento era serio… vemos que ya no es así.
Convoco a todos los sitios de humor del mundo a implementar filtros, controles, verificación y sólo promover los concursos que estemos seguros que son serios y así poder seguir confiando en lo que aparece en sus páginas.
En esta website estaré atento en todo lo que publico para que pueda seguir confiando en ella.
Los invito a participar en el debate sobre este y otros temas que estamos promoviendo en el Blog de la Caricatura Latina CARTONBLOG.

PIRATE CONTESTS
A few weeks ago and denounced Irancartoon alerted us in his website about contests implausible referring specifically to "The First International Cartoon sun shine contest - 2010 Japan", it appeared that this was a fraudulent contest, pirate and promoted themselves as website.
About 1 year ago the same happened with the contest "First Ethiopia cartoon contest 2009", reported later by colleague Ares and promoted by major world humor sites also proving to be a fraud.
In recent weeks I've been getting e-mails from colleagues asking for another course competition and this time my name appeared as a juror, it is "The First blue sky international cartoon contest / 2010 / Spain."
Indeed earlier this year received a brief email stating that he had been selected as a juror of the competition, along with another group of trusted colleagues, immediately replied asking for more information on the event and information on the work to be carried out, but received no response. Dates announced for the same beat and other colleagues of course are in the same jury incommunicado. Obviously this is another pirate competition is in place and take away our time and drawings, various methods used such as: offering hefty rewards, try to place their calls at sites recognized and serious mood, send a mail to the "jury" to appear to be formal and save time, use names of cartoonists known as members of the jury to gain credibility, etc.
We have never had such cases and were confident and did echo in our spaces all the calls we received with the concern that other well-known and colleagues to participate.
We as artists by seeing them advertised on those sites already known we took for granted that the event was serious ... we see that it is not.
I call upon all the world humor sites to implement filters, controls, testing and only promote the competitions we are sure they are serious and thus be able to rely upon what appears on their pages.
On this website I will be careful in everything we publish so you can continue to rely on it.
I invite you to participate in the discussion on this and other issues that we are promoting the Cartoon Blog of America CARTONBLOG.

The First International Cartoon Exhibition - Sofia 2010
Call for Entries
The First International Cartoon Exhibition - Sofia 2010 is calling for entries. The selected works will be shown in Sofia - Bulgaria, in Oktober 2010.
THEME: What City?!...
The city we can’t do without.This is a comprehensive theme: We can’t do without all the stress, rubbish, confusion, traffic jams, chaos, dirt, excessive construction, alienation, aggression, severe stratification, throngs of people, noise, and a feeling of loneliness in the midst of crowds; without disease (there is the so called asphalt coefficient for allergies – city dwellers are much more frequently afflicted by it), lack of enough physical exercise, degradation of humanness to the level of commodity, deficiency of water and heating and services and energy in general; to cut it short, without all that apocalypse that for the time being seems to be far away but could become reality even in foreseeable future.
Here. The place we live in. In the city we can’t do without.
The First International Cartoon Exhibition would like to call for an entry of cartoon art works - will be shown in the open air on the bridge behind the National Palace of Culture, and the originals will be exhibited at the Sofia City Gallery in Oktober 2010.
