RULES of PARTICIPATION to the
2016 INTERNATIONAL CARTOON COMPETITION
with the theme
"LET'S ELIMINATE the BARRIERS"
to be realized within the context of
2016 INTERNATIONAL ACCESSIBLE İZMİR CONGRESS

1. OBJECTIVE:
Izmir Metropolitan Municipality, departing with the goal to be the pioneer of accessible life, is organizing the "International Congress of People with Disabilities' Urban Issues and Their Solutions" between the dates November 2 - 5, 2016, for the second time in Turkey. ACCESSIBLE IZMIR 2016, besides being a scientific congress, also includes a variety of artistic, cultural and social activities that will bring people with disabilities into view in the daily urban life. Accordingly, a cartoon competition with the theme "LET'S ELIMINATE the BARRIERS" will be held.

10% of the world's population has a disability. They can't hear, can't see, can't walk and face multiple barriers in social life. Many people with disabilities in the world are in need of nursing, in comparison to the ones in developed countries. Most cannot attend school and are devoid of any medical support. The discrimination they are exposed to and the fact that they are ignored by society give cause for them to live "invisible".

Izmir Metropolitan Municipality, which started certain practices that lead people with disabilities to enjoy the benefits of urban life more actively and opened the first "Training and Culture Center for People with Disabilities" of Turkey, now conveys the problems of people with disabilities to the public through this international cartoon competition.

Hereby, we invite you to think on their behalf. We wholeheartedly believe that the cartoonists, who enter the competition, will make obstacles "visible" and create social sensitivity as well as social consciousness with their cartoons.
