21st World Press Freedom Canada International Editorial Cartoon Competition 2021

21st World Press Freedom Canada International Editorial Cartoon Competition 2021
1. The theme for the 21st International Editorial Cartoon Competition is: 
Censorship, shaming and disinformation on social media 
Social media and its algorithms can spare us from being confronted with contrary opinions, creating echo chambers for our own points of views. 
The proliferation of disinformation has turned debates into fights where dialogue is no longer possible, and unpopular opinions are shouted down or cancelled out. 
It leaves journalists operating in an environment where facts are often subordinated to lies and propaganda spread online. 
As the siege on Capitol Hill has demonstrated, moderating social media is no longer a luxury. 
2. Three prizes will be awarded: a first prize of $1500 plus a Certificate from the Canadian Commission for UNESCO, a second prize of $750 and a third prize of $500. All sums are in Canadian dollars. Ten additional cartoons will receive an Award of Excellence, which are not remunerated. 
3. Only one cartoon must be submitted by each participant. It may be either in colour or black and white but must not have won an award previously. 
4. The size of the cartoon should not exceed A4 (21 x 29.2 cm) or 8.5 x 11 inches, and should be in jpeg or pdf format at 300 dpi
5. The name, address, telephone number and a short biography of the participant must be included in the submission. 
6. World Press Freedom Canada reserves the right to use the winning cartoons for promotion of the Cartoon Competition. 
7. The winners of the Cartoon Competition will be announced on World Press Freedom Day on Monday May 3, 2021 and will be advised by e-mail. 
8. The winner’s names and their cartoons will be posted on our website

Corruption and Development: International Cartoon Contest, Rostock 2021, Germany

Call for Entries 2021
Paint it simply
Corruption and Development
Corruption is one of the major hurdles to socio-economic development worldwide. Corruption imposes huge burdens on society and on the natural world. Private interests are prioritized to the detriment of the public at large, because corruption diverts financial resources intended for socio-economic development. Poverty and social inequalities are growing due to the distortion of income distribution, and because of spending decisions that are very much influenced by corrupt practices. 
Corruption has many faces and dimensions: bribery, embezzlement, the illegal financing of political parties, tax evasion, as well as many other examples. 
However, one of the most devastating problems we face as a society is the tolerance we have developed for corruption. This tolerance manifests itself in the upending of values, revealed through clichés like: “honesty is for suckers” and “good liars are smart, only stupid people get caught”. Voters often choose politicians with the thinking: “It’s better to vote for the thief you know than the one who wants to become one” or “He robbed us, but he also did lots of good” or “We prefer to vote for the lesser evil”. 
We are therefore seeking YOU and YOUR satirical and critical insights about corruption, which use humor to increase our awareness of corruption, and educate society about its harmful effects. 
• Show us where you have already encountered corruption in your everyday life. 
• What negative impact does corruption have on the world? 
• What does the fight against corruption look like nowadays? 
We are looking for cartoons that also draw attention to the fact that the fight against corruption has a lot to do with SDG 16 “Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions”. We seek cartoons that explain SDG 16 in the context of other SDG’s (Sustainable Development Goals), and to pass on awareness of these goals to future generations. 
Competition Start Date: January 15, 2021 
Deadline for Submissions: May 31, 2021 
Give us your view of the world and its inherent corruption. 
Just explain it – briefly and simply – through cartoons and caricatures.

International Cartoon Competition & Exhibition on Road Safety 2021, Malaysia

International Cartoon Competition & Exhibition on Road Safety 2021, Malaysia
This event is organised by the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS) in collaboration with the Balai Kartun Rossem (BKR), Malaysia. 
Eligible participants: aged 18 and above. The competition is opened worldwide. 
Theme: "Towards Safer Roads
Road crashes is one of the leading causes of deaths around the world. Every year, about 1.3 million people are killed while many others are injured or become permanently disabled as a result of road crashes. Road deaths and injuries are considered as one of most pressing public health issues, especially in low and medium income countries. This needs to be addressed through enforcement, engineering (for road infrastructures and vehicles) and education. 
One way to educate the road users is through road safety advocacy with creative and effective use of campaign materials, including cartoons. Generally, among the cause of road crashes are poor road infrastructures (such as mixed traffic, unsafe road design, poorly maintained roads); unsafe vehicles (too old or poorly maintained); and poor behaviour of road users (such as untrained/unlicensed drivers, inattention as a result of using mobile phones or other devices; driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, speeding, not wearing protective devices such as seatbelts, child seat or helmet). 
To be safe, every road user should always be aware of traffic rules and regulations, keep the vehicles safe through regular maintenance, and consider the safety of every other road users. Road safety is a shared responsibility.
