Organizing Committee

Denizli Metropolitan Municipality 2nd International Cartoon Contest 2022, Turkey

DENİZLİ METROPOLITAN MUNICIPALITY

2. INTERNATIONAL CARTOON CONTEST

SPECIFICATIONS 

FAMILY

We will organize Denizli Metropolitan Municipality 2. International Cartoon Contest by organizing our cartoon contest, which we have held on a national scale for the first three years, internationally this year as well as last year. 

We’ve decided the topic of the contest as Family. 

The family is a structure that the opposite sexes found with a formal contract by coming together. In other words, it is the smallest community consisting of the man and the woman who are connected by marriage and also their child (or children) who is (are) born in consequence of this marriage by blood relation. 

In addition to the relationships among family members, their relationships with the society and environment they live in are also important. Since families are the basic structures that form the society, the durability of the family structure is also very crucial for the society. 

The family is the cornerstone of societies. Although the family has an important place in every society, its importance in Turkish culture is quite different. In the traditional family structure, there are grandmothers and grandfathers as well as mothers, fathers and children. 

As family and society are connected with each other, the relations between the mother and the father, the relations of the parents with the children and the outcomes arising from these relations become directly related to the society. So, when we analyze the family, we see the reflection of many concenpts such as education, training, sadness, happiness, birth, death, bitter and sweet events, relationships between husband and wife, marriage, divorce, trust, distrust, sharing, cooperation, love, affection, urban life, social relations, etc. 

 In 2012, our municipality was awarded the first place with ‘I Love My Family’ project in the project competition in which 127 municipalities from all over Turkey participated. Within the scope of our project: ‘I Love My Family’- the first project in Denizli about this theme- we have carried out many successful projects from healthy marriage school to pregnancy school, from family refereeing to training seminars and conferences, from family counseling centers to free sports courses. 

This time, we want to bring up the concept of the family and its importance with your valuable interpretations as master cartoonists. We desire to release the positive reflections of being a family and the negative reflections of not being a family to the public with your comments, thereby we wish to contribute to the awareness of people. 

Dear precious cartoonists, I’d like to thank you for your contributions and wish you success.
