The Canadian Committee for World Press Freedom 9th International Editorial Cartoon Competition
1. The theme for the 9th International Editorial Cartoon Competition is: “Protecting privacy?”
In the name of national security, governments increasingly encroach on the privacy rights of citizens. At the same time, the privacy of citizens is often invoked by governments and law enforcement bodies as a justification for denying the release of information that should be made public. The privacy of personal information and communication is a key pillar of our individual rights and freedoms – but “protecting privacy” is a concept that is widely abused to hide critical information the powerful do not want the public to see.
2. Prizes: Three prizes will be given: a first prize of $1500, a crystal trophy, plus a Certificate from Canadian UNESCO, a second prize of $750 plus a certificate, and a third of $500 and certificate. All sums are in Canadian dollars. Ten additional cartoons will receive an ‘Award of Excellence.’ Regrettably no financial remuneration accompanies the Awards of Excellence.
3. Only one cartoon will be accepted from each cartoonist. It may be either in color or black and white and may be an original or a print. It must not have won an award and will not be returned. 4. The size of the cartoon should not exceed A4; 21 by 29.2 cm; or 8.50 by 11 inches.

Caricature is a conception of the world,
Social position, view of life.
It is a human presence,
A peculiar expression of its socially committed author.
Implying signs of serious thinking,
It reflects the essence of movement towards the future.
(after Stefan Fartunov)
* There are lots of nations all over the world having their own favorite alcohol drink which helps them identify to the rest of the world. This special drink has a reserved place among the traditions and rituals of the community, in people’s working days and holidays, in their traditional beliefs and notions. In all cases there is only one intoxicate substance-ethanol (no matter if it is rakia, palinka, tsuika, schnapps, sake, ouzo, cognac, whisky, vodka, gin, rum, tequila, etc.) and only one biological kind (Homo sapiens), but the result is such a big variety of manners.
Can masters of caricature from different parts of the world join in the cross-cultural research on the alcohol?
We are looking forward to your offers.
