INTERNATIONAL CARTOON CONTEST ENTITLED "REMOVE THE OBSTACLES"
PART OF ENGELSIZMIR 2013 INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS, TURKEY

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 Güzelyalý 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.) Digital:
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 formats without being zipped using programs such as Zip and Rar. The contestant will be asked to send the original copy of the cartoon via mail if it wins an award.
TERMS
Cartoonists who are going to send the original or the digital copies of their work are to write their names and contact numbers on the back of the cartoon and add their photographs and personal backgrounds, bank accounts (IBAN No) and their ID Numbers. Contestants that apply via internet are to fill in the application form on www.engelsizkongre.org
Contestants under the age of 18 should also add a document regarding their parents’ approval of them participating the contest.
Cartoons entered in the contest will not be sent back to their owners but will be used in media such as brochures and exhibitions to be prepared by Izmir Metropolitan Municipality and/or Güzelyalý Rotary Club under copyright. Participants are deemed to have accepted this term.
Cartoonists who do not reside in Izmir and are awarded with a prize will have to pay their own travel and accommodation expenses. For that reason, if an award-winning cartoonist cannot participate in the award ceremony, s/he will receive her/his award via mail. Likewise, award-winning cartoonists residing in foreign countries will be able to receive their awards via banks, Western Union etc.
The cartoons that are thought to be worthy of display by the jury will be displayed in an exhibition and will be included in an album. The owners of the cartoons will be sent a copy of the album.

bir portre karikatur sergisi planladik.
Sergimize gelen eserler hem Facebook "etkinlik sayfamizda
hem "Don Quichotte" websitemizde sergilenmeye baslamistir. 30 nisan’da sona erecek
katilim sonrasi 50 finalist calisma belirlenecek ve iclerinden bir calismaya
"En Basarili Portre" odulu olarak "Don Quichotte" heykelcigi verilecektir.
bildiginiz gibi heykelcikler ozel el yapimidir ve Þilili heykeltras Ciro Chavez tarafindan tasarlanmistir.
Ayrica oniki calismaya da "don quichotte" sertifikasi verilecektir.
Oktemer Koksal’in aramizdan ayrilmasi cok hazin olmustur. Karikatur camiasi
ona gereken onemi vermemis ve bir anlamda kendi kaderine terketmistir.
Sergimizin amaci bu usta cizeri uluslararasi karikatur platformunda cizgilerle sahiplenmek ve anisini yasatmaktir.
Katiliminiz icin simdiden tesekkur ediyor, bu anlamli sergiye

Oktemer Koksal/Biyografi

1936 yilinda Eskisehir’de dogdu. Onuc yasinda duyma yetenegini yitirdi.
60’li yillarda Bab-i Ali’de cesitli gazete ve dergilerde cizer olarak calisti.
1968 yilinda uc yil calistigi Cumhuriyet gazetesi’nden ayrilarak Almanya’nin Munih sehrine yerlesti.
Almanya’da basta "Kauka Verlag" olmak uzere cesitli yayinevlerine cizgiroman ve
cesitli cizgitiplerden olusan cizgi-bant calismalari yapti.
(Die Telemause, Fix-Foxi, Bussi Bear, vs…) 1983 yilinda
Hurriyet gazetesi’nde "Cin&Can" cizgibantlari yayinlandi.
Cizerlikten para kazanamadigi donemler de oldu.
Yirmi yili askin sure bir firmada "sef restorator" olarak calisti.
Ancak cok yonlulugunu hic yitirmedi. Kendi deyimiyle "sir avciligi" yaparak,
kimi kayip uygarliklarin yuzyillardir uyuyan gizemlerini aciga cikarmayi basardi.
Bu konuda derin arastirmalar yapti ancak bunlari bir kitap olarak bastirmayi basaramadi.
"Mevlana’nin Izinde Gercek Insanliga Yonelelim" baslikli bir girisimde bulunmayi da denedi.
Ancak ilgisizlik yuzunden bu cabalari da sonuc getirmedi.
Bitmek tukenmek bilmeyen enerjisi onu surekli arastirmaya ve gecmisi irdelemeye yonlendirdi.
Gecmisteki uygarliklarin sanildigi gibi "Tas Devri"nde yasamadiklarini ve
"Evrensel Yasa"nin bilincinde olduklarini dusunuyordu.
2002 yilindan itibaren dondugu ulkesinde de bu yonde cabalari devam etti.
Gecmisle ilgili olaganustu mesajlar veren kompozisyonlari tuvale aktardi.
"Siralilik" ve "Denge" konusunu yasadigi surece kitlelere ulastirmaya ve anlatmaya calisti.
"Toplum ve Birey" onun hep ilgi alani oldu. Aklimizda kalan en onemli tanisi ise sinsan" oldu.
Ona gore insan olamayanlarin adi buydu.
21.03.2013 tarihinde gecmis uygarliklari daha yakindan incelemek uzere bizlere veda etti.

Dear Cartoonists,

We planned an exhibition of portrait cartoon on behalf of the Illustrator
"Öktemer Köksal" who passed away a short time ago.
Drawing works coming to our exhibition are being published in our
"facebook" activity page and the website of "Don Quichotte".
Participation will end on April 30 and then, 50 finalist works will be determined.
And one work of them will be determined as "the most successful portrait" and
will reward with "statuette of Don Quichotte".
As you know, Don Quichotte figurines are hand-made and designed by Chilean sculptor Chavez.
In addition, 12 works will be given "Don Quichotte Certificate".
His demise has been very sad. The cartoon community did not matter to him sufficiently and in a sense,
he was abandoned to his fate.
The aim of our exhibition is to make a claim to this drawing master in
an international cartoon platform and embalm.
I thank you for your participation in advance.
We are looking forward your works to this significant exhibition.

Don Quichotte

Öktemer Köksal’s Biography

He was born in Eskiþehir in 1936.
He lost his hearing ability when he was thirteen.
In the 60s, he worked as cartoonist at various magazines and newspapers
in Bab-ý Ali (today Provincial office of Istanbul).
He quitted his job at the newspaper "Cumhuriyet", in which he worked
for three years and settled in the city of Munich, Germany.
For many various publishing houses and especially for "Kauka Verlag",
he drew comics and comic-strip line works,consisting of a variety of types of comics
(Die Telemause, Fix-Foxi, Bussi Bear, etc…). In 1983,
he published "Cin&Can" comic-strips in the newspaper "Hürriyet".
As a cartoonist, he also spent periods without making money.
More than twenty years, he worked in a company as a "chef restorer".
However, he never lost his versatility.
In his own words by doing "mystery hunt", he succeeded to uncover
some oflost civilizations’ mysteries, which were dormant for centuries.
He made deep research on this subject, but he was unable to suppress them as a book.
He also tried to attempt with the title of "Let’s turn to the real humanity in the light of Mevlana".
However, due to lack of interest, his efforts produced no results.
His endless energy, directed him to scrutinize the history and to research rapidly.
To the contrary of thought, he was considering that the civilizations did not live in "Stone-age",
besides they were aware of the "Universal Laws".
Since 2002, he went back to his homeland and continued to make an effort in this area.
On the canvas, he depicted his compositions which give extraordinary messages about history.
As long as he lived, he tried to tell and deliver the theme
"Sequentality" and "Balance" to the masses.
"Society and the Individual" was always his pursuit.
And his most important diagnosis in our minds is"human".
