CALL FOR PARTICIPATION - Virtual Gallery "OBAMA with Humour"
From: Porto Cartoon portocartoon@museudaimprensa.pt
For the Cartoon Virtual Museum Virtual Gallery "OBAMA with Humour"
Dear Cartoonist,
The recent victory of Obama amazed the world.
The most optimistic say "he will change the world".
The more pessimistic: "the world will change Obama."
There are humoristic who think that without Bush the fertile ground for satire will disappear.
Is it really?
As we think it will not happen, here is our invitation for sending your cartoons for the new Virtual Gallery "Obama with humour."
The characteristics of Obama, his victory and the expectation of change are all relevant factors to sharpen the cartoonists’ pencils from all around the world.
We want to prove that the creative power of humorists has no limits. And so the many contradictions of the human beings.
The conflict between passions and hates continues to mark the lack of enforcement of human rights in more than half the world's population!
How does the "new lord of the world" will do? Or undo? Or redo? Or not-do?
With what colour will paint the world?
The shock of the day on November 4 and outlook on the future lies in the hands of the cartoonists.
Send your cartoons and ... and the world will thank you for the ability in helping us to think, laughing.
With many thanks,
Luís Humberto Marcos.
Note: The Virtual Gallery "OBAMA with Humour" will open soon.
Until January 20, we want the walls of the gallery completely filled ...

Regulations 25th International Biennial of Art Humour Tolentino - Italy
In an essay by B. Bettelheim on the importance of play in children, this passage by Freud has been quoted:
“The favourite and most intense occupation of a child is play. Perhaps one can say that a child at play behaves like a poet, in that he creates a world of his own, or rather he re-arranges the things of his world in a new way that pleases him”.
There was Mr Bonaventura, ingenuous child-adult and Bibì & Bibò (the Katzenjammer Kids), two urchins addicted to playing cruel pranks. And then, in more recent years, the world of Charlie Brown, Linus and Snoopy, with their unforgettable domestic-philosophical view on the adult world. And today the Simpsons - a mixture of irony, cruelty and the everyday nature of urban life.
The world of the comic is often directed at children and their games, in order to illustrate the world of adults.
“The Children Are Watching Us” was the title of a film that De Sica wrote together with Cesare Zavattini in 1943.
Beyond the content of the plot (a beautiful melodrama…), the title was well-chosen as it captured in the bedlam that is our adult world (even more relevant today than then…), a certain perspective on life which was like a ray of light; a spotlight that illuminates the dark.
Maurizio Costanzo, Stage Management.

The 2nd INTERNATIONAL MANISA - MESIR CARTOON CONTEST - TURKEY
“OUR FUTURE = OUR CHILDREN”
“OUR FUTURE = OUR CHILDREN”
The UNO has announced the year 2009 to be celebrated as the “World Children’s Year”. We also would like to contribute to this concept by organizing the 2nd International Manisa-Mesir Cartoon Contest.
Well, children are our future. What are we going to leave them? Super shoes that did not exist in our childhood, multifunctional cellular phones, giant colorful TVs, 3D cinema, Harry Potter tales, the whole computer technology and the Internet, space dreams… Those things are not few, but what about nutrition, shelter, security, health services, education? The negative or even horrible things in each of those fields are so many that they stick to my throat…
Some of these children are going to be tomorrow’s respected governors, great scientists, art geniuses and super sports people. Unfortunately the ones who do the wrong, bad and ugly things are going to be raised among them, as well. And we are the ones to show them the way. Let’s leave them confidence in future, high moral values and peaceful relationships with neighbors.
So come on dear cartoonists, for our hopeful future and happy children…
Bülent KAR, Mayor of Manisa

THE WORLD PRESS CARTOON DO NOT PAY PRIZES AND THREATENS WINNING CARTOONIST.In 2007 I participated in WORLD PRESS CARTOON contest and I won second prize in the Caricature section. But untill today (end of October 2008) I have not received my montary prize, nor the cartoon catalogue, neither the trophy they promise to the winners. Since April 2007 I sent messages to the director of wpc, Mr. Antonio Antunez, asking him to pay me my money, and nothing. When I denounced it by e-mail to colleagues (including you) Mr AA replied that it had paid. After he used a lawyer to amendrate: wpc's lawyer sent me a message threatening a criminal trial if I continued with my denunce of non-payment. (I attach you copy of the message). In addition, on this message says the lawyer: "The prize money can be withdrawn at the direction of .... wpc in Portugal."
With that message is verified that Mr. Antunez says one thing by e-mail to participants and says a different thing for me using his lawyer. It is also proved that wpc has not paid the prize, but AA says yes by e-mail.
But the case is even worse: nowhere in the regulation said that the winners should make a trip to Portugal to collect their prize. No contest in the world makes this absurd condition. Wpc does not respect its own rules.
It is all right that a organizer of cartoon contest threatens to a winner cartoonist?
.....
Thank you for your attention.
Regards,
Freddy Pibaqué.
PS: Please read the attached message sent by the lawyer of the wpc, also the winner cartoon who never received the prize and a cartoon about wpc.

Dear Mr. or Mrs,
In May 2009 the Federal Organization for Physical and Multiple Handicapped People will celebrate its 50th anniversary in Berlin. In 1959 it has been founded by parents of children with spastics. The group of people with cerebral palsy still forms the biggest part in our association.
We themed our 50th anniversary - also in allusion to one of the main characteristics of this disability - with following slogan:
"It doesn't matter how you move,
what really counts is what you move!"
It would be a great pleasure for us and all the people who get involved in our work, if you could paint a little caricature or what ever you like that adverts to our slogan. We will collect the drawings that we receive and want to publish them in a brochure. We would like to give these brochures to our members and guests on the anniversary celebration. Of course we will sign each drawing with the artist's name.
We would be very happy if you'd be interested in this campaign. - If you want to be part of it, send your drawing to the address stated below till December 15th 2008.
Kind regards.
Norbert Müller-Fehling, Secretary
