INTERNATIONAL CARTOON CONTEST ENTITLED "REMOVE THE OBSTACLES"
PART OF ENGELSIZMIR 2013 INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS, TURKEY

PURPOSE:
Aiming to become a pioneer of life without obstacles, Izmir Metropolitan Municipality is preparing an international congress to find solutions to the problems of the disabled. "International Congress of the Problems and Solutions of the Disabled" will be organised between October 30 and November 3, 2013, under the leadership of Izmir Metropolitan Municipality. In addition to being a scientific congress, ENGELSIZMIR 2013 is also a fair containing a series of artistic, cultural and social events. For this purpose, a cartoon contest themed "REMOVE THE OBSTACLES" has been organised.
Ten percent of the world’s population is disabled, meaning they are not able to hear, see and/or walk. They come across many difficulties in social life. When compared to the disabled in developed countries, the disabled living in Turkey are in need of great care. Most of them cannot read and they are leading their lives without any medical care. The discrimination against them and being treated as invisible lead them to live a life as invisible people. Izmir Metropolitan Municipality, who has established the first "Education and Cultural Complex for the Disabled" in Turkey, now wants to show the difficulties that the disabled experience with an international cartoon contest which is organised with the Güzelyalý Rotary Club.
Now, we are inviting you to think about them. We believe that the cartoonists can enlighten the "invisible" obstacles and raise awareness regarding this matter.
THEME:
The theme of the cartoon contest is "Remove the Obstacles".
PARTICIPATION:
Artists from all over the world may participate in the contest. There are no restrictions regarding this issue. Each contestant can enter the contest with 5 cartoons at most. The cartoons can be previously published ones. However, they cannot be ones that have been awarded before. If they are so, they will be disqualified from the contest and the given awards can be taken back from the contestant.

Oktemer Koksal/Biyografi

1936 yilinda Eskisehir’de dogdu. Onuc yasinda duyma yetenegini yitirdi.
60’li yillarda Bab-i Ali’de cesitli gazete ve dergilerde cizer olarak calisti.
1968 yilinda uc yil calistigi Cumhuriyet gazetesi’nden ayrilarak Almanya’nin Munih sehrine yerlesti.
Almanya’da basta "Kauka Verlag" olmak uzere cesitli yayinevlerine cizgiroman ve
cesitli cizgitiplerden olusan cizgi-bant calismalari yapti.
(Die Telemause, Fix-Foxi, Bussi Bear, vs…) 1983 yilinda
Hurriyet gazetesi’nde "Cin&Can" cizgibantlari yayinlandi.
Cizerlikten para kazanamadigi donemler de oldu.
Yirmi yili askin sure bir firmada "sef restorator" olarak calisti.
Ancak cok yonlulugunu hic yitirmedi. Kendi deyimiyle "sir avciligi" yaparak,
kimi kayip uygarliklarin yuzyillardir uyuyan gizemlerini aciga cikarmayi basardi.
Bu konuda derin arastirmalar yapti ancak bunlari bir kitap olarak bastirmayi basaramadi.
"Mevlana’nin Izinde Gercek Insanliga Yonelelim" baslikli bir girisimde bulunmayi da denedi.
Ancak ilgisizlik yuzunden bu cabalari da sonuc getirmedi.
Bitmek tukenmek bilmeyen enerjisi onu surekli arastirmaya ve gecmisi irdelemeye yonlendirdi.
Gecmisteki uygarliklarin sanildigi gibi "Tas Devri"nde yasamadiklarini ve
"Evrensel Yasa"nin bilincinde olduklarini dusunuyordu.
2002 yilindan itibaren dondugu ulkesinde de bu yonde cabalari devam etti.
Gecmisle ilgili olaganustu mesajlar veren kompozisyonlari tuvale aktardi.
"Siralilik" ve "Denge" konusunu yasadigi surece kitlelere ulastirmaya ve anlatmaya calisti.
"Toplum ve Birey" onun hep ilgi alani oldu. Aklimizda kalan en onemli tanisi ise sinsan" oldu.
Ona gore insan olamayanlarin adi buydu.
21.03.2013 tarihinde gecmis uygarliklari daha yakindan incelemek uzere bizlere veda etti.

Dear Cartoonists,

We planned an exhibition of portrait cartoon on behalf of the Illustrator
"Öktemer Köksal" who passed away a short time ago.
Drawing works coming to our exhibition are being published in our
"facebook" activity page and the website of "Don Quichotte".
Participation will end on April 30 and then, 50 finalist works will be determined.
And one work of them will be determined as "the most successful portrait" and
will reward with "statuette of Don Quichotte".
As you know, Don Quichotte figurines are hand-made and designed by Chilean sculptor Chavez.
In addition, 12 works will be given "Don Quichotte Certificate".
His demise has been very sad. The cartoon community did not matter to him sufficiently and in a sense,
he was abandoned to his fate.
The aim of our exhibition is to make a claim to this drawing master in
an international cartoon platform and embalm.
I thank you for your participation in advance.
We are looking forward your works to this significant exhibition.

Don Quichotte

Öktemer Köksal’s Biography

He was born in Eskiþehir in 1936.
He lost his hearing ability when he was thirteen.
In the 60s, he worked as cartoonist at various magazines and newspapers
in Bab-ý Ali (today Provincial office of Istanbul).
He quitted his job at the newspaper "Cumhuriyet", in which he worked
for three years and settled in the city of Munich, Germany.
For many various publishing houses and especially for "Kauka Verlag",
he drew comics and comic-strip line works,consisting of a variety of types of comics
(Die Telemause, Fix-Foxi, Bussi Bear, etc…). In 1983,
he published "Cin&Can" comic-strips in the newspaper "Hürriyet".
As a cartoonist, he also spent periods without making money.
More than twenty years, he worked in a company as a "chef restorer".
However, he never lost his versatility.
In his own words by doing "mystery hunt", he succeeded to uncover
some oflost civilizations’ mysteries, which were dormant for centuries.
He made deep research on this subject, but he was unable to suppress them as a book.
He also tried to attempt with the title of "Let’s turn to the real humanity in the light of Mevlana".
However, due to lack of interest, his efforts produced no results.
His endless energy, directed him to scrutinize the history and to research rapidly.
To the contrary of thought, he was considering that the civilizations did not live in "Stone-age",
besides they were aware of the "Universal Laws".
Since 2002, he went back to his homeland and continued to make an effort in this area.
On the canvas, he depicted his compositions which give extraordinary messages about history.
As long as he lived, he tried to tell and deliver the theme
"Sequentality" and "Balance" to the masses.
"Society and the Individual" was always his pursuit.
And his most important diagnosis in our minds is"human".
According to him, this is the name of people who are not human.
On 03/21/2013 he bade us farewell to examine the civilizations of past more closely.
Öktemer Köksal’s cartoon works can be viewed in his personal page on the website "Toonpool".

To mark World Press Freedom Day on May 3, Doha Centre for Media Freedom has organised its inaugural "DCMF World Press Freedom Cartoon Contest." The centre is looking forward to receiving cartoons from artists all over the world, depicting the theme of

"Media Freedom."

May 3 was declared World Press Freedom Day by the UN General Assembly In 1993, and each year it serves as a reminder of the difficulties faced by journalists and members of the media around the world.

Cartoons can often express stories, news and opinions more clearly than words, and at times of conflict, cartoonists and artists are regularly among the first to be silenced.

For World Press Freedom Day in 2013, Doha Centre for Media Freedom would like to honour the bravery and creativity of courageous cartoonists and journalists who use their work to battle against restrictions imposed on the media and society in general.

DCMF has launched its inaugural "DCMF World Press Freedom Cartoon Competition," and looks forward to seeing how cartoonists around the world depict issues related to media freedom.

3. Each participant can contribute only one cartoon to the competition.

Jury

Prizes

SEVENTH INTERNATIONAL BIENNIAL FOR CARICATURE
MASTERS OF CARICATURE
Plovdiv 2013, Bulgaria
SUBJECT: Тhe fatal number 13
The year is 2013. What do the cartoonists around the world think about the number 13?
From ancient times the numbers have been perceived as carrying luck or misfortune. Nobody actually knows since when the fatalism to the number 13 dates back. But according to one version, the prehistoric man had 10 fingers and two feet, and could not count to more than 12. According to another, in the ancient beliefs the number 12 was the perfect one, but the number 13 violates this strict system and awakens the superstitions in people. On the contrary, in ancient Egypt the people used to believe that if you wanted to achieve immortality, you have to climb the ladder with the 13 steps; while in the Greek mythology, Zeus was the 13th and the strongest god. In fact the black glory, which is assigned to this number, appeared probably in the fourteenth century, after the defeat of the Order of the Temple.
But the truth is always somewhere in the middle. Originally Adam had 13 ribs, but God pulled out one of them, and said to him: "Be careful with the number 13! It is at the same time a number of righteousness and a number of evil in the world."
Address for submission:

ABIDIN DINO (1913-1993)
He was born in Istanbul in 1913. His interest in art had started by reading cartoon books. Two of his four brothers, Arif and Ali, was doing paintings and cartoons. He spent major part of his childhood in Switzerland and France. After returning back to Istanbul, as a result of his passion for art he quit his education in intermediate school and took his first steps towards the world of art. When he was only 18, his drawings were published in the "Artist" magazine and he pictured the book "The city that lost its voice" written by Nazým Hikmet. When only 20 years old, he established with 5 of his friends the "D group" which originated a revolution in the understanding of art in Turkey. Later, he spent 3 years in Russia where he went to work in the film studio of Sergey Yutgevich. After Russia, he traveled to Paris and met Picasso through a friend. Picasso, in order to support Dino, enabled him to work in his ceramic workshop; thus the friendship of two lasted long years. Dino returned to Turkey and married to Güzin Dino in 1943. Not being able to stand the oppression of the regime, he first moved to Rome and later went to Paris where he was going to live until his death. He made friendship in Paris with the world known artists like Picasso, Chagall, Aragon, Tzara and Topor. He prepared exhibitions in many important cities and art centers of the world. During his artsitic life, he accomplished countless works in painting, cartooning, drawing, book picturing, ceramic and sculpture. He passed away as a world known artist in Paris at the age of 80 in 1993.
