3. DON QUICHOTTE INTERNATIONAL CARTOON CONTEST.. THEMA: “WORLD LANGUAGES” DEADLINE: 31 JULY 2008

3. DON QUICHOTTE INTERNATIONAL CARTOON CONTEST.. THEMA: “WORLD LANGUAGES” DEADLINE: 31 JULY 2008

In our world today 6800 languages are spoken in over 200 countries. Even in the countries having the same language exist dialects. Consequently each country adds its own social values to the language and makes it more colorful. On the other hand, in the latest 500 years about 750 languages are disappeared forever. According to the linguists, every 15 days a language is disappearing on the earth. One of the crucial reasons for this devastation is colonialism for sure.
There is a dialogue among languages as well. For example Latin lies at the root of many languages. In connecting people language plays an important role; while doing so it can build borders and remove them as well. Chinese is the most widespread language in the world. Second comes Spanish. English is the state language of 52 countries as you can surmise.
Even if we cannot imagine a positive religious dialogue we can talk about a worldwide linguistic dialogue which is much more attractive and active. The aim of our contest is to convey this rich variety through cartoons as much as possible. The most succesful cartoonists in reflecting the linguistic dialogue will be rewarded by the worldwide 15 jury of cartoonists whose members are also in the “Don Quichotte Cartoon Committee”.

3. DON QUICHOTTE ULUSLARARASI KARIKATÜR YARISMASINDA KONU: „DÜNYA DILLERI“

 

“Don Quichotte” mizah dergisinin duzenledigi ucuncu uluslar arasi karikatur yarismasinin konusu “Dunya Dilleri” olarak belirlendi. Bugun dunyada yaklasIk 200’u askin ulkede 6800 dil konusulmakta. Ayni dili konusan ulkelerde bile diller, “lehce” olarak farkliliklar tasiyor. Dolayisiyla her ulke konustugu dili toplumsal degerlerine gore renklendiriyor, zenginlestiriyor. Buna karsin, son 500 yilda yaklasIk 750 dil, bir daha konusulmamak uzere yokolmus. Dilbilimcilere gore her 15 gunde, bir “dil” yok oluyor. Tabii dillerin yokolmasinin en onemli nedenlerinden birinin “somurgecilik” gercegi oldugunu hatirlatmakta yarar var.

Dillerin kendi aralarinda da bir diyalog soz konusu. Ornegin bircok dilin kokeni Latince’den olusuyor. Insanlarin iletisiminde oncelikli sirayi alan “dil”, sinirlar olusturdugu gibi sinirlari kaldirabiliyor da. Dunyada en cok konusulan dil Cince. Ikinci sirayi ise Ispanyolca aliyor. 52 ulkenin resmi dili de tahmin ettiginiz gibi Ingilizce.

Gunumuzde “dinlerarasi diyalog”tan pek olumlu soz edemesek te, “dillerarasi diyalog” sanki daha renkli ve hareketli. Yarismamizin amaci da bu renkliligi ve cesitliligi karikatur araciligiyla olabildigince yansitabilmek. Diller arasindaki diyalogu en iyi yansitan karikaturler, ayni zamanda coðu“Don Quichotte Karikatur Komisyonu” uyesi 15 dunya cizerinden olusan juri tarafindan odullendirilecekler.

 

YARISMA KOSULLARI:

1) Yarismaya sadece internet uzerinden katilabilinir. (donquichotte@donquichotte.org)

2) Yarismaya katilacak karikaturlerin daha once hicbir yarismada odul almamis olmasi ve yayinlanmamis olmasi gerekmektedir. Aksi takdirde odulun geri alinabilmesi soz konusu olabilecektir.
