2. INTERNATIONAL PRODUCTIVITY CARTOON FESTIVAL
The significance of productivity can now be felt more than any other time.
The world crisis ahead can be managed and harnessed through teaching productivity techniques to the world community and transferring its culture to them. More appropriate use of resources and modifying the consumption patterns, along with proper use of appropriate decisions are among the requirements in this regard.
Therefore, the second international cartoon festival on productivity cordially invites all artists to once again provide the society with the opportunity to learn through serenity and smile. As the previous festival was quite successful, this time the focus is more on the content and educational, training, pedagogical aspects, and transfer of culture. This is not merely a contest, but also playing a role in a world where productivity is sought as a suitable solution.
Works can cover any productivity related fields. Fields you can work on are among, but not limited to, the following:
Theme: Productivity (correct usage of …)
– Productivity in factories
– Productivity in houses
– Productivity and Technology
– Productivity in Human Resources
– Productivity and the Urban Life
– Productivity and …

We think that World Cartoon is not developing well. In particular, on the cartoon contests ”with a subject” it is possible to come cross a lot of cartoons with a idea similar each other. Beside that lately the different cartoon contests have launched awards for similar works. We are facing frequently in anxiety that we consider less ethical values of doing cartoon. We have prepared some questions focussing all these concerns and aiming some important issues addressed to you. If you would be kind to write down some short answers to these questions we may do something to establish and to solve some problems we have today and even perhaps we could move further. So, What do you think about these questions?
1) World Cartoon, especially when we are thinking on “subject with humor” have a stoppage. Almost without any researches we are working on a very first idea that comes to our mind. The result of this ends with similar cartoons. Do you think, we need to solve this problem? What can be done?
2) According to us, one of the biggest responsible of frequently appearance of ”similar” cartoons is jurors of the contests. In particular the jurors who do not use the Internet as a medium votes for similar cartoons. We have a suggestion to prevent similarities on cartoons: Just to exhibit all submissions posted for contest in a digital gallery on the web site of the arrangers. This can maintain a healthy result for the final cartoons. ”Don Quichotte” has already lunched this method for a while ago. Do you have any different suggestions about this?
3) What is your opinion on ”Censorship in Cartoon?” Should a cartoon be restrictions on it? If yes, what is the borders of this?
4) Also at recent periods we find more technically perfect cartoons, almost close to ”illustration” in definition and it seems they concern more plastic art which replace the traditionally cartooning with simple lines. It is a reality that there exists cartoonists/artists who produce on this track and who be very successful too. Our concern is mostly on that the priority of humor -the gag or the idea if you wish- stays in background. As it is known, the cartoon in definition is an expression with ”least and original” lines. Do you think so you too?
5) What kind of structures the cartoonists need to act in solidarity, organized as a whole against lawsuits? We need your alternative suggestions in order to create more strong cartoon unity, shoulder to shoulder, which will work internationally. Do you have any suggestions?
Dear Cartoonists,
As we mentioned, your responses to these questions can contribute to solve possible problems of World Cartoon. Beforehand we appreciate and thank for sharing your time for this poll.
Deðerli Karikatürcüler…
Dünya karikatürünün bir týkanma süreci yaþadýðý düþüncesindeyiz. Özellikle “konulu” karikatür yarýþmalarýnda ayný esprilerden çokca görmekteyiz. Bunun yaný sýra deðiþik yarýþmalarda ödül alan karikatürler arasýnda da son dönemlerde oldukça benzerlikler görmekteyiz. Karikatürün etik deðerinden biraz uzaklaþtýðý endiþesini son dönemlerde sýkça yaþýyoruz. Tüm bu kaygýlarý içeren ve önemli konulara deðinen birkaç soru hazýrladýk sizler için. Bu sorularýn kýsa yanýtlarýný vermenizle belki de karikatürün önündeki sorunlarý çözebilir veya bu yolda adýmlar atabiliriz. Ne dersiniz?
1) Dünya karikatüründe, özellikle “espri-tema” konusunda bir týkanma söz konusu. Konu üzerinde fazla araþtýrma yapmadan ilk akla gelen espriyi kaðýda döküyoruz. Bunun sonucunda da birbirinin benzeri karikatürler türüyor. Sizce, bu sorunu çözmemiz için ne yapmalýyýz?
2) Bizce “Benzer” karikatürlerin sýkça ortaya çýkmasýnýn en büyük sorumlularýndan biri de yarýþma jurileri. Özellikle internet ortamýný kullanmayan karikatürcülerin oluþturduðu jurilerin belirlediði sonuçlarda “benzer” karikatürlere sýkça rastlýyoruz. “Benzer” karikatürlerin önlenmesi için bizim bir önerimiz var. Yarýþmayý düzenleyen kurumlarýn internet sitelerinde gelen karikatürler bir sanal galeride yarýþma süresince yayýnlanmalý. Böylelikle finale kalan karikatürlerin ödüllendirilmesi daha saðlýklý olur. “Don Quichotte” yarýþmalarýnda da bu yöntemi uyguluyoruz zaten. Sizin farklý bir öneriniz var mý?
4) Yine son dönemlerde karikatürün salt çizgiyle anlatýmýnýn yerini, plastik kaygýnýn aðýr bastýðý “illüstrasyon”a yakýn bir tekniðin aldýðýný görüyoruz. Bu doðrultuda üreten ve oldukça baþarýlý olan karikatürcülerin olduðu bir gerçek. Ancak kaygýmýz, öncelikli olmasý gereken “espri”nin ikinci planda kalmasý. Bilindiði gibi, karikatürün açýlýmý “az ve öz çizgiyle” ifade etmektir. Sizce de öyle mi?
Deðerli karikatürcüler,
yukarýdaki beþ soruya verdiðiniz yanýtlarla, dünya karikatürünün olasý sorunlarýnýn cözülmesine az da olsa katkýda bulunabilirsiniz. Þimdiden deðerli zamanýnýzý ayýrdýðýnýz için çok teþekkür ediyoruz.

By John Metzler (*)
UNITED NATIONS — The political choreography was perfect — an American president visiting majestic Prague and setting out an ambitious plan for nuclear non-proliferation. An East Asian dictator, defying world opinion, firing off a ballistic missile just hours earlier. And the UN Security Council, gathering in urgent session, discussing, but not quite condemning, the rogue state with even a slap on the wrist.
President Barack Obama’s speech at the storybook Prague Castle aimed high in soaring rhetoric but was punctured by the announcement that half a world away from the medieval spires of Prague, a North Korean dictator had, as planned, tested a long range missile. Flying over Japan, the Taepodong-2 rocket capable of carrying a nuclear warhead, was fortunately a dud, falling short of expectations but still raising the specter that the enigmatic Kim Jong-il will try again and thus continue to hold East Asia hostage to his nuclear saber rattling.
While President Obama painted the grand if Pollyannaish picture of a world without nuclear weapons, he was acutely aware of the growing risk from rogue states and black market atomic bomb technology being a clear and present danger. The U.S. while reducing nuclear arms in parallel with such states as Russia, remains committed to counter the risk from terrorist groups such as Al Qaida to who are “determined to buy, build, or steal a bomb.”
Yet given the Obama Administration’s planned military cutbacks in anti-missile defense research and development, such hopeful dreams are directly challenged by a nightmare of North Korea’s nuclear reality. Precisely the sort of nuclear threats by North Korea, Islamic Iran or someday perhaps Pakistan threaten America, as well as Japan and the European Union. Thus in this setting, the speech could be viewed as Kafkaesque.
Indeed Pyongyang’s challenge has less to do with North Korea’s current capability but with the intent and aspiration; and its inspiration to radical regimes elsewhere.
North Korea already has nuclear weapons, and the regime is working on the rocket technology to deliver them. Japan is seriously threatened by this and thus has taken particularly strong diplomatic moves in the UN Security Council to slap sanctions on Pyongyang regime.
In 2006 responding to Pyongyang’s rocket firings and nuclear tests, the UN Security Council passed two binding resolutions #1695 and #1718 which forbade North Korean “not conduct any further nuclear tests or launch of a ballistic missile.”
Despite the robust rhetoric from the Obama Administration both before and after the missile test, “Rules must be binding. Violations must be punished…the world must stand together to prevent the spread of these weapons. Now is the time for a strong international response,” the response remains tepid.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton later scolded that North Korea’s test had “It’s a provocative act that has grave implications.” She advised a forceful UN response.
But back at Turtle Bay in New York, both the People’s Republic of China and Russia played interference and blocked the Security Council discussions from going further offering the sonorous advice that the missile only put a satellite into orbit, let’s not overreact, and in the words of Beijing’s delegate take a “Cautious and proportionate” response. Eventually the Council may make a pro-forma declaration
Still the multilateral Six Party talks in which both South and North Korea are joined by China, Japan, Russia and the USA in discussing a nuclear free North Korea probably remain the best diplomatic path ahead, though Pyongyang will use the test as leverage in the stalled negotiations.
Pyongyang’s missile plan to launch a satellite (portrayed as a glorious scientific victory in communist media) has more to do with internal regime mobilization as it does with bullying East Asia.
In the bizarre political hagiography of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea the missile test is clear and logical; it offers a political benediction to the regime, the Kim Cult, and the military. Kim Jong-il has just been “re-elected” by proclamation in the Supreme Peoples Assembly in Pyongyang as dictator. This period constitutes the celebratory Loyalty Festival, between Dear Leader’s Jong-Ils birthday in February and that of the deceased Great Leader Kim Il-Sung on 15 April. The moribund Marxist state needs rallying points, through both domestic mobilization and international brinksmanship. Rebuffing Japan and the U.S. is grist for Pyongyang’s propaganda mill.
It’s crucial that the USA, South Korea and Japan stand firm against North Korea’s latest provocation. It’s ironic that President Obama’s speech was made in Prague, after all the capital of the Czech Republic, a country whose name has been synonymous with the tragic legacy of appeasement. History must not be allowed to repeat itself, this time in the Far East.
