A Colorful Human World!
"It was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair", Dickens wrote. Words, we recognize only too well. Or rather, we instantly recognize the despair, seeing it in the eye of refugees, who travel across the sea in spite of the danger, because staying would be infinitely more dangerous. We see the refugees, who never make it to Europe, drowning in the attempt, and those who make it ashore, only to be met with hate speech and the suspicion that they are extremists. Mainstream media are stimulating that populist speech, which incites hate, while right wing parties everywhere in Europe are calling on the nation state and closing of the borders to the exclusion of others. There is always some "other" to blame for everything. In fact, our societies consist of many "others" at the risk of a situation of fracture in which everyone is made scared of one another. Cartoonists have an important task at hand, and The International Cartoon Contest & Exhibition 2018 invites all cartoonists to make us forget to be scared and find different ways of (re)connecting. Cartooning at its finest is a spring of hope. It gives us ways to critically rethink and find alternatives to bridge the "us" and "them". We get to see the human in the other. Differences in culture or language are no longer too strange or too much to take in. We see that differences are what make for a colorful world. We deserve to be living in a colorful human world and The International Cartoon Contest & Exhibition 2018 invites all cartoonists to take part to make it a reality.
CONDITIONS OF PARTICIPATION:
The Contest is open to cartoonists from all over the world. Cartoonists can send their published or unpublished works of art to the Contest.

5th KalDer Bursa International Cartoon Contest 2018, Turkey

5. KalDer BURSA
INTERNATIONAL CARTOON CONTEST
SPECIFICATION

The Caricature Contest will be held with collaboration of KalDer Bursa Department and Anadolu Karikatürcüler Derneği (Anatolian Caricaturists Society) for the 5th time within the 16th Quality and Success Symposium which is going to take place in Bursa between 13th - 14th of April 2018.
1. Topic of the Contest: "MANAGING TRANSFORMATION"
Explanation about the topic of the contest: The Ephesian philosopher Herakleitos explains the problem of being in the metaphysical understanding of ancient times with the word 'Panta rei'. According to him, the universe is a constantly flowing process, a change that has no beginning and end. In this process there is nothing that does not change and goes on.
Cities are being reshaped according to needs. The sources that are at risk of extinction, necessitate harmonious production with nature. Innovative ideas stand out in the face of changing customer expectations. Countries are examining their economic, social, cultural and technological structures. New strategies are identified in national development policies and plans. Today's changes and transformations seem to make it possible for us to grant Herakleitos, the ancient metaphysical thinker. Today's young and equipped managers take their place in the business world and see the inevitability of using the time effectively and keeping up with the times quickly. The industry and the service sectors know the necessity as much as in whole life, to keep pace with this transformation.
Thus, the Topic of the KalDer International Cartoon Contest, which we carried out this year, is "MANAGING TRANSFORMATION".
1. Last date for application: 17 January 2018, Wednesday
2. The contest is receptive internationally for all amateur and professional caricaturists.
3. Application: Limited with three (3) caricatures, may be e-mailed to bursa@kalder.org in 300 dpi jpg format.

Objections will not be considered after these dates.
5. Competing caricatures may be printed and used in KalDer organisations (posters, books, albums, postcards, brochures, invitations, exhibitions, etc.) and published in internet environment. One of the artworks may be used as the main visual of the 16th Quality and Success Symposium which will be held in Bursa between 13th to 14th of April 2018.

Received catalog of the 19th Novomestsky Osten Cartoon Contest 2017, Slovakia

Received today the color catalog of the 19th Novomestsky Osten Cartoon Contest 2017 in the Slovak Republic. The 14.75 x 21 cm sized catalog of quality paper has 48 pages including the covers. The cartoon on the back cover is by the 1st Prize-winning artist Oleksy Kustovsky from Ukraine. Below is the complete list of winners in the contest this year with theme "Happy Life". And some scans of cartoons in the catalog are followed.

The Novomestsky Osten Cartoon Contest was first organised in 1982 as the first festival of humorous drawings in the then Czechoslovakia. "Not only did it come into existence, it took firm roots," reminds Mr Josef Trstensky, the Mayor of Nové Mesto nad Vahom, in his foreword to the catalog: "A duo of enthusiasts - former Academy of Performing Arts graduates - were later joined by other Bratislava based artists, chief among them Viktor Kubal, the nestor of the Slovak caricature.
The Novomestsky osten took firm roots, and grew to such extent that in 2013 it became an international event." At present, they "are in the process of preparing the project documentation for the new gallery (of humorous drawings and satire), and if all goes to plan, the premises should be refurbished until the end of 2018, following which the gallery will be open."
Many thanks to the organizers for sending me this precious book of humor. It includes the works by four Turkish cartoonists as well, namely Musa Gümüş, Ömer Çam, Kaan Saatçi, and Kemal Özyurt.
