The Addis Ababa Declaration for the Recognition of Cartooning as a Fundamental Right

From the DPDF Facebook page.

The Addis Ababa Declaration for the Recognition of Cartooning as a Fundamental Right, presented on May 3, 2019 at UNESCO Press Freedom Days in Addis Ababa and then handed over to the organization's Director General, is in a new phase.

We have asked the French National Commission for UNESCO to carry this text.

This week, its President transmitted the declaration to all National Commissions for UNESCO.

We hope that this dissemination will help to open up, within and between countries, a space for discussion and reflection on the right to satire and irreverence.

Five years after the attack on Charlie Hebdo, this new step is all the more significant: it brings strength and legitimacy to this text, and completes making it a reference text on which cartoonists all over the world can now rely.

We must now bring this declaration to life.

12th International Don Quichotte Cartoon Contest 2020, Germany

12th INTERNATIONAL DON QUICHOTTE CARTOON CONTEST 2020

Theme: Say NO to "violence against Women!"
We are taking on another global societal issue after covering child marriages. “Violence against Women” will be the theme of 12th Don Quichotte Caricature Contest. Violence against women and childs is one of the most widespread violations of human rights. Some national studies show that up to 70% of women have experienced physical and/or sexual violence in their lifetime from an intimate partner. To raise awareness and trigger action to end this global scourge, the UN observes International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women on 25 November. Unfortunately, violence against women and girls is deep-rooted in our societies and the international observance serves as a symbol of resistance as well as a call to action to eliminate gendered physical, economic and psychological violence. Violence against Women has been increasing in emerging countries. Femicide-killing women because of their gender- is a longstanding issue in the world. For example, there were 430 female homicides in 2019 alone in Turkey. Although illegal, child marriage in Turkey remains also prevalent along with countries such as India, Iran, Mexico, Ethiopia, Chad and Niger. The purpose of this contest is to bring global awareness to this issue through the lens of caricaturists around the world and encourage solutions that will end this social crisis.

Catalog of the International Cartoon Festival in Saitama 2019, Japan

Received yesterday the superb catalog of the International Cartoon Festival in Saitama 2019, Japan. They are celebrating the 29th year of the festival in 2019. Having been invited to the festival the second time this year, I did participate in the event with two cartoons of mine, one on the theme Hana which means "Flower" and the second one of free theme. Works by 47 Japanese and 51 foreign artists are included in the catalog of the exhibition that took place at Plaza North in November 2019.
Saitama City is the place where Rakuten Kitazawa - the father of modern cartoon in Japan - spent his later years. The Saitama Municipal Cartoon Art Musem in the home to Kitazawa in his later years hold the Saitama-City Rakuten-Kitazawa Manga Awards competition each year. In 2019 they held the 34th edition and the winning cartoons are included in this collection book of "The Best Cartoons of Nippon" which are also displayed on the museum website here.
The standard A4-sized (21x29.7 cm) catalog of "The Best Cartoons of Nippon 2019" has over 110 pages, about 80 of them covering the color and the black&white cartoons participated in the festival and selected for the catalog. The remaining pages are the lists of the Japanese and the Foreign artists with their personal histories in both English and Japanese. This perfectly designed book of art is a best chance to compare the style and wit of the native and overseas manga/cartoon artists and enjoy the great humour in their works.
From Turkey are nine cartoonists whose cartoons published in the catalog; namely, Alper Susuzlu, Aşkın Ayrancıoğlu, Behiç Yalçın Ayrancıoğlu, Erdoğan Başol, Hüsnü Berkalp Üstün, Kamil Yavuz, Kemal Özyurt, Musa Gümüş, and Seyit Saatçi.
Thank you to the festival organizers and the staff of Plaza North who sent me this excellent collection of manga/cartoon art.

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

XXII PortoCartoon 2020

HUNGER, POVERTY AND INEQUALITIES

Special Caricature Awards: Chico Buarque and Albert Eisntein

Dear Cartoonist, dear Friend,

From 2020 on, PortoCartoon will tune its main theme with major UN concerns for the next decade. The structuring themes of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will allow new humorous approaches.

For 2020 we chose SDGs 1, 2 and 10 for their thematic articulation: Eradicate Hunger and Poverty, Reduce Inequalities.

According to some statistics, half of the world's population is poor. Wealth is concentrated in very few people (82% of wealth is in the hands of 1%).
"Tax havens" remain a source of corruption and inequality. True (and curable) cancer of humanity!

Humor, as a rich instrument of democratic awareness, has a wide field of action in these times of greed, populism and fanaticism.

People deserve the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to be the regulatory document of the societies. PortoCartoon wants to contribute to this.

Following the line started in 2013, with the introduction of the Special Caricature Award at PortoCartoon, two great personalities were chosen to honor in 2020: the singer and writer Chico Buarque (Camões Prize 2019); and the Nobel Prize in Physics Albert Einstein. This choice is justified by the museum with the note that, in 1920, a wide spread of its famous Theory of Relativity began in the world press.

We would like to receive your most appreciated participation until: 31 January 2020 (EXTENDED:) 16 February 2020

Greetings, with universal humor,

Luiz Humberto Marcos
Director

The 7th KalDer Bursa Internatıonal Cartoon Contest 2020, Turkey

7th KalDer Bursa International Cartoon Contest

Specification
The Caricature Contest will be held with collaboration of KalDer Bursa Branch Office and Anadolu Karikaturculer Dernegi (Anatolian Caricaturists Society) for the 7th within the 18th Quality and Success Symposium which is going to take place in Bursa between 17th – 18th of April 2020.
1. Contest topic: "CHANGE IS IN THE ESSENCE”
“It is not enough to know, it is necessary to think. Life is lived by looking forward, it can be understood by looking back," says, Sören Kierkegaard, Danish philosopher who lived in the 19th century.
The future is founded by progressive ideas, revolutionary discoveries and inventions. The owners of scientific knowledge apply it to life and reinforce it with technology. On the other hand, despite all these advances, we see that hunger, thirst, ignorance and poverty cannot be prevented in the vast majority of the world. The political arrangements put forward are not enough for humanity.
When we look at this picture, has ‘human’ been forgotten in the flow of life?
What should we remember for human understanding and happiness?
What should we look at to continue the journey of revealing the essence of human?
Is it possible to establish a social structure that can adapt with the new world of production and consumption?
What does it take to find our creative side without getting lost in the uniformity of life?
In line with this content, we organize our contest with the subject of “Change is in the Essence”.
2. Last date for application: 15 January 2020, Wednesday
3. The contest is receptive internationally for all amateur and professional caricaturists.
4. 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.
6. 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 18th Quality and Success Symposium which will be held in Bursa between 17th to 18th of April 2020.
