PURPOSE:
Aiming to become a pioneer
of life without obstacles, Izmir Metropolitan Municipality is preparing an
international congress to find solutions to the problems of the disabled.
“International Congress of the Problems and Solutions of the Disabled” will be
organised between October 30 and November 3, 2013, under the leadership of
Izmir Metropolitan Municipality. In addition to being a scientific congress,
ENGELSIZMIR 2013 is also a fair containing a series of artistic, cultural and
social events. For this purpose, a cartoon contest themed “REMOVE THE
OBSTACLES” has been organised.
Ten percent of the world’s
population is disabled, meaning they are not able to hear, see and/or walk.
They come across many difficulties in social life. When compared to the disabled
in developed countries, the disabled living in Turkey are in need of great
care. Most of them cannot read and they are leading their lives without any
medical care. The discrimination against them and being treated as invisible
lead them to live a life as invisible people. Izmir Metropolitan Municipality,
who has established the first “Education and Cultural Complex for the Disabled”
in Turkey, now wants to show the difficulties that the disabled experience with
an international cartoon contest which is organised with the Güzelyalı Rotary
Club.
Now, we are inviting you to
think about them. We believe that the cartoonists can enlighten the “invisible”
obstacles and raise awareness regarding this matter.
THEME:
The theme of the cartoon
contest is “Remove the Obstacles”.
PARTICIPATION:
Artists from all over the
world may participate in the contest. There are no restrictions regarding this
issue. Each contestant can enter the contest with 5 cartoons at most. The
cartoons can be previously published ones. However, they cannot be ones that have
been awarded before. If they are so, they will be disqualified from the contest
and the given awards can be taken back from the contestant.
THE CONTEST CAN BE
PARTICIPATED IN THREE WAYS:
1.) Original: The drawing technique is not
restricted and cartoons can be either coloured or black and white. The size of
the cartoons should be 29.7 x 42cm at most on an A3 sheet. Cartoons sent in
such a way are preferred.
2.) Digita: If cartoons are to be sent
digitally, cartoonists need to sign their cartoons before. Photographs and/or
photocopies of the cartoons will not be accepted. Cartoons should be 29.7 x
42cm at most on an A3 sheet.
3.) Online: Contestants can also enter
the contest online. Cartoons can be sent using the “Cartoon Contest” menu on www.engelsizkongre.org. Cartoons should be sent in 300 Dpi, JPB or RGB
