International Cartoon Competition
"Peace through Children"
Objectives of the competition:
Sister and Friend Cities of Izmir gather around the International Cartoon Competition.
The competition is to be organized in order to contribute to the friendship of communities with the creative power of culture and
art as well as strengthen friendship ties between cities. The theme of the competition, which will be held for the first time this year,
is determined as "Children and International Peace" and the results will be announced on the 1st of September 2014, the World
Peace Day.
Today, thousands of children lose their lives and are forced to leave their home lands due to wars. They become disabled, suffer
from psychological problems and they are abused. In wars, mostly children die first and for those who survive; they don’t smile
anymore since their dreams, hopes and future are taken away from them. Every child has the right to grow up in peace regardless
of their color, language, religion and ethnic
origin. Ensuring this is the joint
responsibility of humanity.
With this consciousness, Izmir
Metropolitan Municipality would
like to invite the cartoonists living
in our sister and friend cities to
participate in the competition;
we believe that their works will
increase the sensibility and
awareness for peace.
