INTERNATIONAL CARTOON COMPETITION
«VISIT TO THE DENTIST»
PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT is to present an opportunity to the medical professionals in the field of dentistry to glance at their profession from the caricaturist’s point of view. Aching tooth so to speak has always been a widely exploited theme in literature, just to mention A. Chehov’s short stories like “Chirurgia” (“Surgery”), “Loshadinaia familia” ( “Horse-like last name”), and R. Burns’ poem “Ode to the tooth ache”. Almost every Flemish artist had a painting dedicated to the “extraction of a tooth” theme. Wilhelm Bush-the founder of modern comics also used a dentistry theme in his work. Why does dentistry inspire so much creativity?
Dentistry develops and improves constantly. Recent innovations in dental technology and treatment methods have changed dentistry dramatically over the past 20 years. We are very interested in the caricaturist’s point of view, and are curious if recent advances in dental science are being reflected in the work of modern artists and caricaturists. Are the reasons for the smiles and laughter the same as hundreds of years ago?
We are confident that items and creative ideas presented during this exhibit will be very helpful to our patients as well, because smiles and laughter are the best anesthetics before a trip to the dentist.
METHOD: Creation of an exhibit to present creative potential of artists and caricaturists from Russian Federation and other countries.
FORM: Organization of international caricature competitions and exhibits during the work of professional dental conferences, recognition of the most talented work, publishing of album-catalogs.

Jubilee International Cartoon Contest – Germany
Dear Mr. or Mrs,
In May 2009 the Federal Organization for Physical and Multiple Handicapped People will celebrate its 50th anniversary in Berlin. In 1959 it has been founded by parents of children with spastics. The group of people with cerebral palsy still forms the biggest part in our association.
We themed our 50th anniversary – also in allusion to one of the main characteristics of this disability – with following slogan:
“It doesn’t matter how you move,
what really counts is what you move!”
It would be a great pleasure for us and all the people who get involved in our work, if you could paint a little caricature or what ever you like that adverts to our slogan. We will collect the drawings that we receive and want to publish them in a brochure. We would like to give these brochures to our members and guests on the anniversary celebration. Of course we will sign each drawing with the artist’s name.
We would be very happy if you’d be interested in this campaign. – If you want to be part of it, send your drawing to the address stated below till December 15th 2008.
Kind regards.
Norbert Müller-Fehling, Secretary
Anne Ott, Press and publicity

Brazilcartoon takes responsibility for the prizes of the Contest and extends the deadline
The portal Brazilcartoon supported the Godofredo Guedes’ Centennial International Fair of Cartoon / Brazil with the creation of graphic pieces for disclosure, but unfortunately the Municipal Secretary of Culture of Montes Claros of the current administration (2004-2008) did not fulfill the agreement of paying the valuo of the prizes. Due to the large number of works we have received and the importance of the event, the Brazilcartoon will realize the fair independent of the support from the Secretary of Culture.

Godofrendo, Godô, as he was kindly named, was born on August 15 in the city Riacho de Santana, Bahia, in 1908. In 1953 he moved to Montes Claros / MG. He began to dominate the brush before he was 15, in 1923. His first work was “Nosso Senhor Bom Jesus da Lapa”, made by oil. As the years went by he became a reference in painting portraits and beautiful landscapes, North of Minas’ hinterlands scenes.
Godofredo was also an influence to the beginning of advertising in Montes Claros, producing painted signs to local commerce. In music he had a most important role in compositions that are nationally known such as “CANTAR” which have already been recorded by Milton Nascimento and Paula Toler, as well as his own son, the singer and composer Beto Guedes.Godofredo went beyond the mounts, in Minas’ capital, where he collaborated in the creation of the art market in Belo Horizonte, in Liberdade Square.
The immortal Godofredo has always had painting and music in his blood, and contributed immensely with the cultural formation of Montes Claros. He left a valuable inheritance of compositions and paintings, and also created an instrument, pentacorde, that have and particular sound.
The City Montes Claros, Brazilcartoon’s home, opens the celebrations of Godofredo Guedes’ centenary with several festivities, in order to retribute to the great cultural collaboration of this talented artist: Godofredo Guedes.Montes Claros is located in the north portion of Minas Gerais.
