19th Porto Cartoon World Festival/ Portugal,2017

19th Porto Cartoon World Festival/ Portugal,2017

Entries should arrive at the Portuguese Printing Press Museum until February 28th 2017, with the registration formGeneral Rules and Regulations

1- Main Theme: Tourism

The United Nations (UN ) declared 2017 as the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development.

The purpose is clear: to encourage understanding between people and increase the contribution of tourism to the three pillars of development – economic, social and environmental.

Such a crosscutting and with worldwide serious implications theme cannot stay out of reach from the critical analysis of humorists. Their contradictions are a good gimmick for cartoonists to sharpen their pencils… In this context, the humorous reflection we are now proposing, aims to bring greater awareness on the rich legacy we received from our ancestors and of their different cultural, social and environmental values. 

Because thesevalues are often contradictory they can be a perfect inspiration for the art of humor.
2- Special Awards for Caricature
Two great figures have been appointed for the 2017 edition of the Caricature Special Awards:
Pablo PICASSO (1881 – 1973)

In 2017, it will be 80 years since the creation of “Guernica”, the emblematic work of Picasso immortalizing the bombing of the homonymous city in 1937 by the Air Force to Hitler, at the request of the dictator Francisco Franco.With his creativity, innovation and capacity for disruption, Picasso became one of the major figures of the 20th century art. In a world still full of atrocities, the evocation of Guernica shows the importance of art as an indispensable instrument to life. By proposing Picasso, the icon of modernity as a theme, we aim to inspire cartoonists and exalt their art.
António GUTERRES (1949 – )

António Guterres will be sworn in as the new United Nations Secretary-General on the 1th January 2017. He was chosen by acclamation by the Security Council and then voted in the General Assembly in October last, but it was not easy way for him. At the end of the race, surprises enlivened the dispute.After several positions in Portugal and at the United Nations (High Commissioner for Refugees), the new “diplomat of the world “ is facing a great challenge and has many monsters to fight. Fighting for peace, against discrimination; for development, against poverty; for environmental protection, against greed. In a difficult dichotomy of ‘hell’ and ‘angels’, the craving for a better world.
