Results the 3rd Diogenes of Sinop International Cartoon Competition 2024, Turkey


“NO TO NUCLEAR!” THEMED, DIOGENE OF SINOP
3RD INTERNATIONAL CARTOON COMPETITION HAS ENDED
“No to Nuclear!” organized by Ayancık Municipality and Sinop Writers, Poets and Artists Association. The 3rd Diogenes of Sinope International Cartoon Competition has concluded. 
Ayancık Mayor Hayrettin Kaya (Turkey), sculpture artist Eşref Baş (Turkey), writer Tufan Bilgili (Turkey) and cartoon artists Adnan Taç (Turkey), Altan Özeskici (Turkey), Ares-Aristides Hernandez (Cuba), Aşkın Ayrancıoğlu (Turkey). ), Erhan Yaşar Babalık (Turkey), Fan Lintao (China), Leila Alaiy (Iran), Mehmet Selçuk (Turkey) and Musa Keklik (Turkey) examined 620 works of 240 artists from 48 countries. 
Sinop, which takes its name from Sinope, who made Zeus fall in love with her, is under a nuclear threat these days. Diogenes from Sinope was also looking for support for Sinop "against the nuclear power plant", instead of walking around with a lantern in his hand during the day and "looking for a man"... We would like to thank all the artists who were not insensitive to Diogenes' search and stood against nuclear power with their works. With his valuable works, he explains nuclear as political, humanitarian, economic, ecological, vital, environmental, etc. Among the artists who examine the subject from different perspectives and reflect this with aesthetic values, those deemed worthy of the award are listed as follows…
Grand Prize: 10,000 TL/Plaque
BORISLAV STANKOVIC (STABOR)-SERBIA

4 Achievement Awards: 2,500 TL/Plaque
