"Low Creativity and High Similarity" by Márcio Leite
Low Criativity and High SimilarityOne more similar cartoon is a winner in a traditional contest. It happened in Turkey, in Aydin Dogan. The rewarding of ideas that are not unknown is repeating all over the world and getting more and more frequent. This prejudices the quality of the event, taking the space of participants that send creative and never seen before cartoons, and that could win properly the prizes, including honorable mentions. The cartoonists that decide to join a competitive exhibition should be not only a good drawer or have a good idea, but be, above all, an ethic person and a good researcher. He should know about the results and about the catalogs of contests that are happening. Brazilcartoon bets on the Rahim’s excellent idea of the creation of the committee so the ethic is above humor in competitive exhibitions.
Brazilcartoon is democratic and impartial, therefore we will notify similarity and plagiarism cases, and also give the right of answer to those artists involved.

15th International Contest University of Alcalá – Spain
15th International Graphic Humor Contest of the University of Alcalá – SpainThe General Foundation of the University of Alcalá announces the 15th International Graphic Humor Contest, with the slogan:
Garbage: The value of what you throw away.
For some people, it is only garbage, but for many others it is a source for life. Besides, it is one indicator to analyze the society in which we live in. This reflection has inspired the subject of the 15th International Graphic Humor Contest of Alcalá that has been announced with the slogan “Garbage: The value of what you throw away”.
Deadline for this announcement is August 31st.
This International Contest is open to all the professionals of Graphic Humor that send the cartoon they have published (or will publish) in national or international media. The main goal of this contest is to sensitize public opinion (being the students a special target) about the meaning of garbage, and the spreading of the necessity of going more deeply into the importance of recycling.
We can define our way of living by analyzing our garbage and, moreover, we can make radiography of the society that produces that garbage. The Chilean economist Hernán Durán de la Fuente says that “a city like San Francisco has on its garbage more aluminum than that you can obtain from a bauxite mine, and more copper than that you can obtain from an average mine”. Those data define significantly the squandering of developed societies. On the other side we find the garbage dump as a supplying resource for those who live in poverty.
For that reason, other main objective of this 15th International Graphic Humor Contest about the value of what we throw away is to share artistic and pedagogic projects from different countries, in order to change some behaviors, and to favor the opinion and experience exchange among graphic humor professionals all over the world.
Basis of the announcement will be soon available in different languages. Spanish version is available yet. Check the website for the complete basis in your language before posting your work(s). See the basis now available in different languages: http://www.humor.fgua.es/XVmuestra/bases.htm
The entry may be a cartoon, a strip or a caricature.
