7th International cartoon competition, Kolasin 2022, Montenegro

International caricature festival "Kolašin 2022" has announced the 7th International cartoon competition. 
Rules: 
THEME OF THE FESTIVAL: Compromise and Tolerance and Free Theme. 
Participants can submit a maximum of three papers based on the topic. Six /6/ works in total. 
Every work must contain the name and surname of the author, the state and the serial number of the work. Example: JOHN SMITH, USA 1 JOHN SMITH ,USA 2... 
The first three papers must be on the given topic. 
The theme of this year's festival is compromise and tolerance. This is a very broad topic, and the main goal is to point out with the messages of world artists that any misunderstanding, dispute or conflict between two people or two countries can be resolved by dialogue, conversation or negotiations. By presenting the facts and looking at things objectively, a compromised solution to every problem will be reached. No disagreement is resolved by physical conflict or war. Because, in the end, every war always ends at the negotiating table. Then why so many human and material victims? Why does a man use force when he has reason and is valid for a human and civilized being? That's why this festival wants to address this question and seek adequate answers from artists-caricaturists around the world. Answers that are above all lucid, witty and intelligent. 
Artists from all over the world will respond to this given topic through caricature and powerful messages. The best works will go around the world and send a message around the globe. The best works will be rewarded with First, Second and Third prizes, which will be in money and in the form of trophies and diplomas. We will also award five special prizes - diplomas. It is yours to think and create. Ours is to reward the best works. Best of luck to everyone! 
Rules on technique and scale of work: Free. 
Send the works to the mailing address: 
Cultural Center Kolasin 81210, Montenegro-Montenegro  /for international caricature festival/ 
AWARDS: 
FIRST PRIZE: 500 euros, trophy and diploma 
SECOND PRIZE: 300 euros, trophy and diploma 
THIRD PRIZE: 200 euros, trophy and diploma 
Five special awards - Salon Diploma. 
Deadline for shipping / deadline : 20.07.2022
