The 8th FICA International Caricature Competition in Africa, Morocco 2025

International Caricature Festival in Africa

8th Edition of the FICA 2025 International Caricature Competition

Theme: SEAS AND OCEANS 

Planetary Wealth in Danger 

The seas and oceans represent more than 70% of the surface of our blue planet. They are not just vast bodies of water; they constitute an invaluable global resource and the lungs of life. The oceans produce nearly half of the oxygen we breathe, regulate the global climate, are a major source of food and medicine, and are home to unparalleled biodiversity. They are the engine of life and maintain the balance of our planet. 

Threats to Blue Wealth 

But today, this global resource is under serious threat, threatening its sustainability and survival. Marine pollution, particularly plastic and chemical pollution, is one of the greatest challenges, suffocating marine life and destroying fragile ecosystems. Overfishing also contributes to the depletion of fish stocks faster than they can recover, threatening the extinction of entire marine species. Call to action to preserve our blue treasures. 

Protecting the seas and oceans is no longer an option, but an absolute necessity to ensure the future of our planet and the existence of future generations. This requires concerted efforts at the local and international levels, including the adoption of sustainable fishing policies, the fight against pollution in all its forms, and raising awareness of the importance of this blue treasure. Let us all work together to protect our marine treasures before they become mere memories in an endangered sea.

Kaktus Cartoon Award 2025, Austria: The Solution / Die Lösung

Kaktus Cartoon Award 2025

The Solution / Die Lösung

Worldwide conflicts, wars, inequality, poverty, disasters, climate change… 

And on top of that, the little problems of everyday life. 

Resignation and escapism? – Not with us! 

Kaktus 2025 proudly presents: The Solution / Die Lösung 

Artists have always been an important voice during times of upheaval. 

Cartoonists, with their often unconventional and humorous contributions, can highlight problems, question preconceived opinions, and thus make a valuable contribution to the debate. 

So today, we ask the cartoonists of this world: What is the solution? 

The solution to what? Each artist decides for themselves. 

Big or small problems, simple or complex, serious or funny. 

Because humor can bring the lightness needed to find a solution. 

Prize Money: 

The Kaktus Cartoon Award 2025 - The Solution/Die Lösung honors the three best cartoons, selected by an independent jury. 

1. Prize: 2,500 Euro 

2. Prize: 1,500 Euro 

3. Prize: 1,000 Euro 

Submission: 

Cartoons can be submitted for Kaktus from June 10, 2025 to July 9, 2025. Further information on source under “Submit Cartoon”. 

Award Ceremony & Exhibition: 

The best cartoons, selected by an independent jury, will be presented in an exhibition in Linz and on tour. The award ceremony and opening of the exhibition will take place on October 15, 2025, at the Schlossmuseum Linz.

Winners in "Environment" themed Diogenes of Sinop 4th International Cartoon Contest

“ENVIRONMENT” THEMED

DIOGENES OF SINOP

4TH INTERNATIONAL CARTOON CONTEST

HAS BEEN CONCLUDED

“Environment” Themed Diogenes of Sinop 4th International Cartoon Contest organized by Sinop Writers, Poets and Artists Association with the contributions of Sinop Municipality has been concluded. 

The selection committee, consisting of sculptor Eşref Baş (Turkey), writer Tufan Bilgili (Turkey), and caricaturists Adnan Taç (Turkey), Altan Özeskici (Turkey), Aşkın Ayrancıoğlu (Turkey), Cemal Odabaşı (Turkey), Erhan Yaşar Babalık (Turkey), Fan Lintao (China), Leila Alaiy (Iran), Lütfü Çakın (Turkey), Marian Avramescu (Romania) and Musa Keklik (Turkey), examined 1,565 works by 450 artists from 56 countries. 

“Sinop, which takes its name from Sinope, which made Zeus fall in love with it, is under threat from a nuclear power plant and a copper mine these days. Diogenes of Sinop, instead of wandering around with a lantern in his hand during the day and “looking for people”, was seeking support for the protection of Sinop’s nature… We would like to thank all the artists of the world who did not remain indifferent to Diogenes’ search and supported our struggle for a “Livable Environment” with their beautiful works…”
