2011 Global Editorial Cartoon Competition

Posted on 19 January, 2011 by | 24 Comments

Can you capture the complex ideas of democracy, corruption, and gender equality in one simple, universal image? Do you  want to win $1,000 in the process? If you answer yes to either one of these questions, then you should participate in CIPE’s new 2011 Global Editorial Cartoon Competition.

One image can communicate more than dozens of pages of text or hours of speeches. One image can change the course of history. Editorial cartoons draw attention to important political, economic, and social issues like nothing else. Using symbols or visual metaphors, their reach transcends country borders and language barriers.

We invite you to take part in this exciting new initiative. We will be looking for original, relevant, creative cartoons with a universal message. We have assembled a fantastic panel of judges, including Tom Gibson, a founding cartoonist of USA Today and Pat Oliphant, Pulitzer Prize Winning and world’s most widely syndicated cartoonist.

Most importantly, the competition is open to participants of all ages, professional and amateur cartoonists. Take part and draw attention!

    How can one find out whether he won or not?

  11. Mirko | 26 April, 2011 at 6:16 pm |

    When the end of the contest? Is there a site where we can see all the comics submitted?

  12. Aleksandr Shkolnikov | 27 April, 2011 at 11:43 am |

    Mirko – we received about 900 cartoons. We are now sorting them and checking all the forms – with so many submissions, you can imagine, it takes time. Judges will begin looking at cartoon in a few weeks. The finalists in each category will then be posted online and everyone will be able to vote for their favorites. We will be updating http://www.cipe.org/cartoon with schedules

    It’s been 3 months. What’s taking so long? The website keeps showing the same notification, that in “a few weeks” they will show the finalists. Is it still on or has it been abandoned? We need to know.

  16. Aleksandr Shkolnikov | 14 July, 2011 at 11:55 am |

    Here is an update: We had to sort more than 900 cartoons which takes a lot of time! From 900 through several rounds of voting we have finally been able to get to top 50 in each category. The judges are in the process of choosing top 10 cartoons in each category which will then be presented for public voting!

    Thank you for you interest and stay tuned! They are coming online very soon.

  17. Pablo Cardenas | 15 August, 2011 at 8:34 am |

    Almost 4 months. Is the contest still on?
    Please respond and inform the date the top 10 will be presented online.

  18. Aleksandr Shkolnikov | 15 August, 2011 at 9:25 am |

    We are waiting to hear from all the judges. We will publish finalists online for voting in September!

  19. Pablo Cardenas | 6 September, 2011 at 3:05 am |

    When in september?

  20. D | 3 October, 2011 at 6:53 am |

    As it is October now, I was wondering when results will be available for voting? thanks

  21. Aleksandr Shkolnikov | 12 October, 2011 at 3:38 pm |
