The First International Cartoon Exhibition – Sofia 2010
 

The First International Cartoon Exhibition – Sofia 2010 is calling for entries. The selected works will be shown in Sofia – Bulgaria, in Oktober 2010. 
 

THEME: What City?!…

The city we can’t do without.
This is a comprehensive theme: We can’t do without all the stress, rubbish, confusion, traffic jams, chaos, dirt, excessive construction, alienation, aggression, severe stratification, throngs of people, noise, and a feeling of loneliness in the midst of crowds; without disease (there is the so called asphalt coefficient for allergies – city dwellers are much more frequently afflicted by it), lack of enough physical exercise, degradation of humanness to the level of commodity, deficiency of water and heating and services and energy in general; to cut it short, without all that apocalypse that for the time being seems to be far away but could become reality even in foreseeable future.
 
Here. The place we live in. In the city we can’t do without.
 
The First International Cartoon Exhibition would like to call for an entry of cartoon art works –  will be shown in the open air on the bridge behind the National Palace of Culture, and the originals will be exhibited at the Sofia City Gallery in Oktober 2010.

LIST OF THE CONDITIONS FOR 2010 INTERNATIONAL CARTOON CONTEST "NAJI AL ALI" ON PALESTINE

Naji al Ali and Handala are two symbols of the Palestinian national resistance who never yielded to the occupiers since decades. The palestinian cartoonist Naji al Ali, who had shelted to a refugee camp in Lebanon after the 1948 occupation when he was 10 years old and who has been assasinated by Israeli agents in London in 1987 has left a child to all of the peoples of the world; it is Handala, a child who will always be 10 years old. Under nearly 40 thousand cartoons who narrate Palestine, appears Handala as he has turned us his back. He is offended to everybody who do not hear the voice of a people of which the country and right to life is stolen; and it is only after the liberation of Palestine that he will turn his face again.
We started to work to commemorate the memory of Naji al Ali, who dedicated his life of 50 years to the stuggle to free his country, and he did it mainly by his cartoons. We know well that the zionist occupiers have even fear of the designs. Let them have fear! We shall continue to design Palestine.
Not only the Palestine who fights, but also the Palestine who breathes…
We’re calling everyone who want to support this heritage as well as to support this struggle, to participate to the 2010 International Cartoon Contest "Naji al Ali" on Palestine and to make heard the sound of Naji al Ali, Handala and Palestine.
