International Cartoon Contest Engelsizmir 2013 with theme: "Remove the Obstacles"

INTERNATIONAL CARTOON CONTEST ENTITLED “REMOVE THE OBSTACLES”
PART OF ENGELSIZMIR 2013 INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS, TURKEY

PURPOSE:
Aiming to become a pioneer of life without obstacles, Izmir Metropolitan Municipality is preparing an international congress to find solutions to the problems of the disabled. “International Congress of the Problems and Solutions of the Disabled” will be organised between October 30 and November 3, 2013, under the leadership of Izmir Metropolitan Municipality. In addition to being a scientific congress, ENGELSIZMIR 2013 is also a fair containing a series of artistic, cultural and social events. For this purpose, a cartoon contest themed “REMOVE THE OBSTACLES” has been organised.
Ten percent of the world’s population is disabled, meaning they are not able to hear, see and/or walk. They come across many difficulties in social life. When compared to the disabled in developed countries, the disabled living in Turkey are in need of great care. Most of them cannot read and they are leading their lives without any medical care. The discrimination against them and being treated as invisible lead them to live a life as invisible people. Izmir Metropolitan Municipality, who has established the first “Education and Cultural Complex for the Disabled” in Turkey, now wants to show the difficulties that the disabled experience with an international cartoon contest which is organised with the Güzelyalı Rotary Club.
Now, we are inviting you to think about them. We believe that the cartoonists can enlighten the “invisible” obstacles and raise awareness regarding this matter.
THEME:
The theme of the cartoon contest is “Remove the Obstacles”.
PARTICIPATION:
Artists from all over the world may participate in the contest. There are no restrictions regarding this issue. Each contestant can enter the contest with 5 cartoons at most. The cartoons can be previously published ones. However, they cannot be ones that have been awarded before. If they are so, they will be disqualified from the contest and the given awards can be taken back from the contestant.
THE CONTEST CAN BE PARTICIPATED IN THREE WAYS:
1.) Original:
The drawing technique is not restricted and cartoons can be either coloured or black and white. The size of the cartoons should be 29.7 x 42cm at most on an A3 sheet. Cartoons sent in such a way are preferred.
2.) Digital:
If cartoons are to be sent digitally, cartoonists need to sign their cartoons before. Photographs and/or photocopies of the cartoons will not be accepted. Cartoons should be 29.7 x 42cm at most on an A3 sheet.
3.) Online:
Contestants can also enter the contest online. Cartoons can be sent using the “Cartoon Contest” menu on www.engelsizkongre.org. Cartoons should be sent in 300 Dpi, JPB or RGB formats without being zipped using programs such as Zip and Rar. The contestant will be asked to send the original copy of the cartoon via mail if it wins an award.
TERMS

Cartoons entered in the contest will not be sent back to their owners but will be used in media such as brochures and exhibitions to be prepared by Izmir Metropolitan Municipality and/or Güzelyalı Rotary Club under copyright. Participants are deemed to have accepted this term.
Cartoonists who do not reside in Izmir and are awarded with a prize will have to pay their own travel and accommodation expenses.

25th Olense Kartoenale themes: 'Clear Surface Water' & 'Right to a home and some food'

Theme Kartoenale 2013 :
'clean surface water'
Water used for daily activities such as showering, washing-up, cleaning, … is transported via the
sewage system to a wastewater treatment plant. It is purified there making it clean enough to be
discharged into the surface water. In the past, our wastewater was discharged straight into the
waterways. By first treating it, waterways are reviving and humans and animals are rediscovering
the attraction of the water. Living and relaxing in the vicinity of the water, you see it more and
more.

ABIDIN DINO (1913-1993)
He was born in Istanbul in 1913. His interest in art had started by reading cartoon books. Two of his four brothers, Arif and Ali, was doing paintings and cartoons. He spent major part of his childhood in Switzerland and France. After returning back to Istanbul, as a result of his passion for art he quit his education in intermediate school and took his first steps towards the world of art. When he was only 18, his drawings were published in the "Artist" magazine and he pictured the book "The city that lost its voice" written by Nazım Hikmet. When only 20 years old, he established with 5 of his friends the "D group" which originated a revolution in the understanding of art in Turkey. Later, he spent 3 years in Russia where he went to work in the film studio of Sergey Yutgevich. After Russia, he traveled to Paris and met Picasso through a friend. Picasso, in order to support Dino, enabled him to work in his ceramic workshop; thus the friendship of two lasted long years. Dino returned to Turkey and married to Güzin Dino in 1943. Not being able to stand the oppression of the regime, he first moved to Rome and later went to Paris where he was going to live until his death. He made friendship in Paris with the world known artists like Picasso, Chagall, Aragon, Tzara and Topor. He prepared exhibitions in many important cities and art centers of the world. During his artsitic life, he accomplished countless works in painting, cartooning, drawing, book picturing, ceramic and sculpture. He passed away as a world known artist in Paris at the age of 80 in 1993.
