2015

has been declared by the

United Nations

as the

International Year of Light

. Illuminating this subject with the light of the cartoon seems one of the best appeals to the artists of humour.

This theme can be used to show also many inequalities that exist worldwide. The light of the sun and moon is the same for everyone, but other lights, electricity and all that goes with it, are the reason for darkness in different parts of the world.

In addition to participating with cartoons on the main theme, the cartoonists can also send works for the

Free category

and for two

Caricature Special Awards

:

• Portuguese football player

Cristiano Ronaldo

• American writer

Ernest Hemingway

(1899-1961)

The maximum measures of the work:

• paper: 42 x 30 cm (DIN A3)

• sculpture pieces: 42 x 30 x 30 cm

There is no entry fee
