2010 International Cartoon Contest - Naji Al-Ali on Palestine

Naji al Ali and Handala are two symbols of the Palestinian national resistance who never yielded to the occupiers since decades. The palestinian cartoonist Naji al Ali, who had shelted to a refugee camp in Lebanon after the 1948 occupation when he was 10 years old and who has been assasinated by Israeli agents in London in 1987 has left a child to all of the peoples of the world; it is Handala, a child who will always be 10 years old. Under nearly 40 thousand cartoons who narrate Palestine, appears Handala as he has turned us his back. He is offended to everybody who do not hear the voice of a people of which the country and right to life is stolen; and it is only after the liberation of Palestine that he will turn his face again. We started to work to commemorate the memory of Naji al Ali, who dedicated his life of 50 years to the stuggle to free his country, and he did it mainly by his cartoons. We know well that the zionist occupiers have even fear of the designs. Let them have fear! We shall continue to design Palestine. Not only the Palestine who fights, but also the Palestine who breathes...

We're calling everyone who want to support this heritage as well as to support this struggle, to participate to the 2010 International Cartoon Contest "Naji al Ali" on Palestine and to make heard the sound of Naji al Ali, Handala and Palestine.

5th Big Boat of Humour International Contest - Poland

In Polish, the word LODZ means a vehicle propelled by sails, oars or engine, used as a means of water transport. Almost all around the world, it carries symbolic connotations:
•it is an allegory of human fate in both individual and collective dimension,
•it is associated with courage, when imagining sailors embarking on a voyage across rough oceans,
•it symbolizes human longing for adventure and some change in life.

LODZ is also the name of the second largest city in Poland which is an inland city with no access to navigable waters. We hope that the name of our metropolis will become an  inspiration for graphic artists, especially those with a flair for satire. The theme should be taken up with humour, with panache and perhaps with a bit of poetry... This explanation, indispensable to foreigners, is also aimed at the Poles, for whom the popular usage of the name of the city might have blurred the sharpness of its paradox.

For the fifth time, the Big Boat of Humour invites all the artists, who would like to face the theme of LODZ, to enter the competition.

RULES

1. The aim of the contest is:
•promoting the city, changing the traditional perception of LODZ and challenging the stereotypical image of the city.

2010 Eco cartoon exhibition, India

The sun, the moon and the stars would have disappeared long ago... had they happened to be within the reach of predatory human hands. 

~Havelock Ellis, The Dance of Life, 1923

Man has two faces. He is the creator and destroyer too. But concerning to environment, he is always the destroyer.

If we look at it historically, man is continually destroying his environment, for changes to occur. One should flatten a hill or a mountain for one to build new roads and infrastructure. One has to cut all the trees in the forest for mans dreams in building houses and bridges to be realized.

Do business with the environment in mind - systematically

Environmentally conscious and resource-saving actions are essential for one and all today. The aim should always be to improve the economic and ecological conditions today for future generations.

Many organizations and social groups now have programs and activities dedicated to environmental issues.

As it is proven that, the cartoon is a powerful weapon against oppression and has a liberator role, where shows many times a reality from an unseen angle, the ignorant man is visualized the reality.

In this context, cartoonists forum attempts to organize an International Cartoon Exhibition on emphasizing the individual responsibility towards Environment.

Though, there are many efforts that have already been made to explain need of such awareness towards Environmental protection, www.indianink.org tries to make the program more effective by inviting cartoons in person from the prominent cartoons around the world.

The Theme of the exhibition is Let Environment Live

Grow Green & Go with Green

2nd P.C.RATH MEMORIAL INTERNATIONAL WEB CARTOON CONTEST-2010

BOLANGIR, INDIA

PURNA CHANDRA RATH  

SUPERINTENDENT OF ARCHAEOLOGY, PATNA STATE, BOLANGIR

(1909-1952)

It is an irony of life that often a lesser man, by well-planned orchestration, is installed on pedestals, while one really talented unfortunately gets a silent burial. Through passage of time, layers of dust gradually settle over what that brilliant man had achieved with dedication during his life-time and eventually the image of that man and his work, though deserving to be treasured, are permanently consigned to oblivion. Such has been the fate of late Sri Purna Chandra Rath, whose multi-dimensional genius could not fully blossom as Myeloid Leukemia (Blood Cancer) claimed him prematurely at the young age of 43. Within a brief span of about 12 years of creative life, he could accomplish a lot in cultural, social and political spheres by sheer will-force and organizational capability. Despite infrastructural deficiencies, financial constraints and geographical obstacles prevailing at his time, he over-stretched his energies to see his dreams come true. In the process, he untimely perished like a 'Candle burning at both ends'. (more :-  pcrath )

In remembrance of this Eminent Historian, P.C. Rath Memorial Trust invites cartoons from both professional and amateur cartoonists of the world.
