9. OTHER PROVISIONS

FIRST INTERNATIONAL ILUSTRA MAXIMA COMPETITION. "WATER"

This international competition is a call to the citizens of the world to illustrate their deep thoughts; so that this message of accountability and desire for collective action draws a path for water because, as Gaston Bachelard said "Water is the mirror of our future".

According to Paul Claudel, "water is the gaze of the Earth." This maxim is very true, if we look at our planet from space. It is also the element that reflects the health of the Earth, and in which its illnesses first appear. The contamination of aquatic environments (nitrates and phosphates that are industrial or bacterial in nature) are in fact a symptom of the degradation of the biosphere.

This view challenges our consumption of this precious resource, and we must necessarily leave future generations a preserved ecosystem. For this reason, the current managers of territories have a responsibility to respond effectively and appropriately to the challenges of water resource management.

This international competition is a call to the citizens of the world to illustrate their deep thoughts; so that this message of accountability and desire for collective action draws a path for water because, as Gaston Bachelard said "Water is the mirror of our future".

PARTICIPATION RULES:

1. PARTICIPATION:

The Contest is open to all cartoonists from all over the world and beyond.

2. THEME: Migration

The concept of emigration has existed since the first hominids learned to walk. To move around, for social reasons or just for surviving, has always foot-printed the route of our species. Since our remote African origin until today, humans have explored the whole planet forming a wide range of settlements, apparently different, but with the same necessities. Nowadays, for some countries of the so called first world, immigration is contemplated almost like a plague: solid metal walls have been built to protect their borders and tough strict control systems are used in their customs. However, migration can´t be stopped and human beings, the direct descendents of hominids that knew no frontiers, will continue to move around the world.
