QUO VADIS EUROPE? / JOURNEY OF HOPE? 9th DON QUICOTTE INTERNATIONAL CARTOON CONTEST 2016..



NEW DEADLINE: 06.05.2016

QUO VADIS EUROPE? / JOURNEY OF HOPE? …

Dear Cartoons Lovers,

We would like announce the title of the 9th DQ International Cartoons Contest as "Quo Vadis Europa?/Journey of Hope".
As we are all aware that in the Middle East, there’s a bloody war going on for years and no one knows when it will end. There is also the worldwide Syrian refugee crisis that adds up to millions of people and is still going on since 4 years. Most refugees try to land in Italy via Turkey and Greece in order to reach other European countries.
For some time now, the EU’s been applying immediate precautions and taking action against this major problem.
Unfortunately, some dark forces have started a "refugee trade" in order to take advantage of this tragedy.
Having sold everything they own due to ongoing war, Syrians flee ending up in a death voyage. As Germany having held its promise and has opened up its borders to millions of them, refugees have started flooding in. However, upon the opposition parties and society’s protests, reverse decisions are made and the immigration has been stopped.

One of the decisions made is to contribute 3 Billion Euros to Turkey in return of stopping this immigration. Thus, a form of "concentration camp” will be realized in Turkey in order to save Europe from the presence of refugees. Will this plan be successful? It is a big question mark for both Turkey and the European countries!
“Most of the Syrian refugees being Muslim and try to reach the Christian European countries instead of wealthy Muslim ones is another point to be considered. Positive and negative social reactions in Germany also lead us wondering how this situation will be reflected in other European countries. Unfortunately, while such decisions are made, the refugee trade is going on and new tragedies are under way every day.

The objective of the contest is holding a mirror to the states and societies to question themselves.
We have 3 questions:

These people…
1) Why are they fleeing Syria?
2) Whey do they choose Europe?
3) Will they ever come back?

QUO VADIS EUROPA? / DER WEG IN DIE HOFFNUNG

Liebe Karikaturfreunde,

das Thema des 9. DQ Internationalen Karikatur-Wettbewerbs lautet „Quo Vadis Europa? oder Der Weg in die Hoffnung“
Wie wir alle wissen, dauert der unsinnige Krieg im Nahen Osten seit Jahrzehnten und niemand weiß, wann er aufhoren wird! Seit fast vier Jahren wandern große Menschenmengen aus Syrien in die ganze Welt. Die Menschen rennen um ihr Leben heraus aus dem Kriegsland; ein Ende kann man nicht abschätzen! Die meisten Menschen versuchen uber die Turkei und Griechenland auf der Balkanroute oder uber Italien, nach Zentraleuropa zu gelangen. Europäische Länder suchen in letzter Zeit nach Notlosungen, um diese Situation zu bewältigen. Diverse Banden, Menschenhändler, Schlepperorganisationen nutzen diese Tragodie fur ihre Zwecke und bauen an ihren „Menschenhandels – Routen“ weiter.
Die Menschen, die (noch) in Syrien sind, verkaufen alles Hab und Gut und begeben sich mit ihrer Familie auf den Todestreck. Aus dem ganzen Nahen Osten kamen bereits Millionen Menschen nach Deutschland und noch vielmehr sind auf dem Weg, weil Deutschland die Tore fur Fluchtlinge – wie die Kanzlerin sagte- geoffnet hat. In letzter Zeit versucht die deutsche Regierung, diesen Menschenstrom nach Deutschland zu verlangsamen, wenn nicht gar zu stoppen, weil die Zahl der Menschen, die eine Begrenzung der Fluchtlingszahlen fordern, täglich wächst. Europa mochte diesen Migrationssturm beenden, bevor er Mitteleuropa erreicht.  Alle europäischen Länder haben Angst, dass dieser Sturm das europäische Gleichgewicht zerstoren wird!
Die Fluchtlinge aus Syrien fliehen ins christliche Europa, obwohl sie Muslime sind. Es ist auch nachforschenswert, warum syrische Fluchtlinge nicht die reichen arabischen Länder als neue Heimat wählen. Als Losung fur die „Fluchtlingsfrage“ haben die EU – Länder mit der Turkei ein Abkommen unterschrieben, nach dem die Turkei Fluchtlinge in der Turkei hält; Fur diesen Dienst bekommt die Turkei 3 Milliarden Euro. Die Turkei wird also ein großes „Sammelbecken“ fur den fliehenden Menschen. Auf diese Weise soll Europa von Fluchtlingen verschont bleiben!
Ein riesengroßes Fragezeichen bleibt: Ob diese Strategie fur Europäer und die Turkei der richtige Rettungsplan ist? Einerseits  beschließen die Regierungen in den EU – Ländern  Entscheidungen der genannten Art; andererseits läuft der „Menschenhandel“ ungestort weiter und wir erfahren jeden Tag von neuen Tragodien, von Menschen, die auf dem Weg nach Europa viel Schlimmes erleben mussen. Das Ziel dieses Wettbewerbs ist es, den Regierungen, aber auch dem einzelnen Menschen in Europa einen Spiegel vorzuhalten, um (moglichst) vorurteilsfrei uber humane und innovative Losungswege erneut nachzudenken.

Drei Fragen haben wir:
1) Warum wollen die Menschen unaufhaltsam aus Syrien weggehen?
2) Warum fällt ihre Wahl auf Europa?
3) Gehen sie irgendwann in ihre Heimat Syrien zuruck?

Die Wettbewerbsregeln:
1)    Die Teilnahme am Wettbewerb ist nur durch Internet moglich.
quovadiseurope@donquichotte.org
2)    Die eingereichten Arbeiten durfen weder bei einem anderem Wettbewerb vorgestellt, noch auf irgendeine Weise veroffentlicht worden sein. Bei einem Verstoß, ist die Aberkennung der errungenen Preise die Folge.
3)    Die Zeichnungen sind in A3-Große zu zeichnen, in 200 dpi Auflosung und in Jpeg-Format abzugeben. Sie konnen sowohl Schwarz-Weiß, als auch farbig sein,
Die farbliche Darstellung, genauso wie die farbtechnische Bearbeitung der Arbeiten
obliegen nicht einer Eingrenzung.
4)    Der Einsendeschluss des Wettbewerbs ist der 1. Mai 2016
5)    Die Jury besteht und bewertet die Werke zwischen 15. und 30. Mai 2016 Ergebnisse dieser Bewertung und Vorstellung der preisgekronten Werke werden am 1. Juni 2016 veroffentlicht.
6)    Die Preisverleihung wird im Rahmen der Eroffnung der Ausstellung am 25. Juni der Städtischen Kunstgalerie Filderstadt stattfinden.
7)    Die entsandten Karikaturen werden im  Archiv von Don Quichotte aufbewahrt.
Bei einer Nutzung außerhalb der Ausstellung und der Ausstellungsbroschure wird eine Genehmigung des Kunstlers eingeholt.
Bei ausreichender Finanzierung durch Sponsoren ist ein Album geplant.
Wenn die Voraussetzungen nicht gegeben sein sollten, werden die Werke als e-Album (in PDF) auf der Webseite von Don Quichotte veroffentlicht.

Hepimizin bildigi gibi Ortadogu’da yillardan bu yana kanli bir savas devam etmekte ve ne zaman sona erecegi bilinmiyor. YaklasIk dort yildan bu yana Suriye’den dunyaya milyonlarca multeci akin etti ve etmeye de devam ediyor.
Multecilerin cogunlugu Turkiye – Yunanistan uzerinden Balkan Ulkeleri ve  Italya’ya, oradan da Merkez Avrupa ulkelerine ulasmaya calisiyor. Avrupa Birligi ulkeleri son donemlerde bu konuya acil onlemler ve kararlar alarak cozum bulma calismalari yapiyor. Bu trajediden yararlanmak isteyen bazi karanlik gucler de, adeta bir "multeci ticareti" baslatti!

Savastan kacan Suriye‘liler, varini yogunu satip cocuklariyla birlikte adeta bir olum yolculuguna cikiyorlar. Almanya, verdigi soz uzerine multecilere kapilarini acma karari alinca, bu ulkeye yonelik buyuk bir multeci akini basladi. Ancak Almanya’da muhalefetin ve halkin verdigi tepki uzerine bu kez ters yonde kararlar aliniyor ve goc durdurulmaya en azindan yavaslatilmaya calisiliyor. Avrupa, goc dalgasini merkez Avrupa’ya ulasmadan durdurmaya cabaliyor. Bu goc dalgasinin Avrupadaki dengeleri bozmasindan korkuluyor olsa gerek! Suriyeli multecilerin cogunun musluman olmasi ve zengin musluman ulkeler yerine hristiyan avrupa ulkelerine  siginmalari da ustunde durulmasi gereken baska bir ayrinti !!??

Alinan kararlardan biri de Turkiye’ye gocu durdurmasi karsiliginda 3 Milyar Euro para yardimi yapilmasi. Boylelikle Turkiye buyuk bir "TOPLAMA KAMPI" olusturarak Avrupa’yi multecilerden kurtarmaya calisacak. Ancak bu planin ne denli basarili olacagi, hem Turkiye hem de Avrupa ulkeleri acisindan kocaman bir soru isareti!! Avrupa`da bu yonde kararlar alinirken, ne yazik ki multeci ticareti devam etmekte ve trajedilere her gun yenileri eklenmekte.

4. CONCURSO INTERNATIONAL CARTOON CONTEST 2015



1. PARTICIPATION

The Contest is open to all cartoonists from all over the world and beyond.

2. THEME: THE COST OF FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION.

To speak, to give an opinion, to demonstrate publicly, to express yourself through the most essential forms of social

communication are rights than more and more are being treated as merely political-economic interests. A sick intolerance

to freedom of speech grows with impunity in many parts of the world. Journalists, political dissidents, human rights

activists, mothers and relatives of the "disappeared", intellectuals, cartoonists, are brutally repressed; many have their life

threatened or are pushed into exile. And there are those who die because they believe in free speech. To express

criticism or to oppose an authoritarian government or large scale organized crime that use murder as a common practice

of censure means constantly dicing with death.

This year we invite you to share your ideas with us, to express freely your thoughts about freedom of speech, the controls

placed on it and the world-wide violation of this basic human right.

3. THE PRIZES

1st Prize: $27000 Mexican pesos.

2nd Prize: $23000 Mexican pesos.

3rd Prize: $17000 Mexican pesos.

Winners will be notified by e-mail after 11 December 2015.
