Invitation: XIX PortoCartoon-World Festival 2017, Portugal

Dear cartoonist friends,
Unhook the humor to make the world better!
Make tourism, helping us to know everything we should not do. And many of us do not want to know. Make sustainable tourism, with your unsustainable humor!
If your humor is caustic and your pencils are pointing to the wounds of the world, all the universe should watch out. Nothing will be left out. Not even the 'sustainable tourism for development'!
In the field of caricature, two great figures call for the exercise of beauty distortion.
Picasso began himself by caricaturing the world of extremely cubic shape; Guterres, with his ups and downs in politics, reaches the top of world diplomacy as a ‘long-distance runner’. Both are a pertinent pretext for a razor-sharp demonstration of the most universal language (after or before the music?).
To participate in this nineteenth edition of PortoCartoon-World Festival is to give the world a precious jewel: an opportunity to laugh and to think.

Philosopher Wang Yangming Profile
Wang Yangming is one of the most influential philosophers in the Confucian tradition. He is best known for his theory of the unity of knowledge and action. A capable and principled administrator and military official, he was exiled from 1507 to 1510 in Guizhou, Southwest part of China for his protest against political corruption. It was during this period of exile that he developed his contribution to what has become known as Neo-Confucianism (“Learning of the Way”). With Neo-Confucianism in general, Wang Yangming’s thought can be best understood as an attempt to propose personal morality as the main way to social well-being. Wang’s legacy in Neo-Confucian tradition and Confucian philosophy as a whole is his claim that the fundamental root of social problems lies in the fact that one fails to gain a genuine understanding of one’s self and its relation to the world, and thus fails to live up to what one could be.
In order to memorialize this great Neo-Confucian philosopher and inherit his idea at home and abroad, it is our honor to coordinate the Confucian Academy to hold 2017 Philosopher Wang Yangming Caricature & Ancient China in the Eyes of Artists International Competition & Exhibition after successfully launching 2015 Confucius Caricature & China in the Eyes of Artists International Competition. Most welcome you to submit your caricatures of Philosopher Wang Yangming & Ancient China with thanks.

Catalog of the 7th International Tourism Cartoon Competition 2015, Turkey

Time to review the recent catalog (received a couple of months ago I must confess) of the International Tourism Cartoon Competition organised in Turkey by Anatolia: A Journal of Tourism Research of Anadolu University and the Association of Tourism Writers & Journalists. This 7th edition had the theme of "Tourism and Peace" which brought in a lot of cartoons with doves, olive branches, and the peace signs while some works had migration as the sub-theme which is of course the most important problem the humanity is faced nowadays because of the ongoing wars and regional conflicts. Forced or voluntary migration is the negative form of changing places in stark contrast with tourism. So what will tourism look like in the future if all these wars last for a long time? Will people change worlds if not places on planet earth? That is the new theme this year of the International Tourism Cartoon Competition 2016 and will bring more hope and joy in the cartoons I suppose: Future of Tourism.

The International Tourism Cartoon Competition catalog is sent to all cartoonists whose works are included in the book. The 145 works in the book are the finalist cartoons selected by the pre-evaluation committee from the 895 works sent in by 445 cartoonists representing 67 countries. The objective way the cartoons are selected, nominated and qualified for awards is a bit complicated process but it works with the help of internet and some volunteer work.
And this catalog published in paper is also within reach of internet users on the website of the competition. There you can also find in 7 languages the guidelines for submission by internet or snail mail, the youth and adult categories, and the awards of course, the all-inclusive holidays of 5 days in a 5-star hotel in Turkey for 2 persons: http://tourismcartoon.com.

Raed Khalil : Contests....... But ...?

Contests....... But ...?
Contest usually organised worldwide, so every country has its own cartoon contest for example and such intellectual events varies according to amount and quality of media and financial support.
On the other hand, there are several Contests here and there which have lost credibility, the thing that enforced every respectable cartoonist to exclude himself away from them because of the lack of organising and ignoring his/her questions & requests though.
Worth mentioning that other Contests usually held just to bring in cartoons, collect and then sell them or invest them within other special affairs, in other words we can see that eventually, cartoonist is the skip goat of such exploitation and other... etc.
Our questions are the following:
1 - When would you boycott cartoon Contests in general? Please clarify your point of view and justify the reasons, what and why.
2 - Is politics are the most important element of joining or not joining cartoon contests?
3 - Is the special situation and private circumstances of every contest are the only reason for some cartoonists to include two faces within their contributions?
Regards
Raed Khalil
