International Caricature Contest Godofredo Guedes’   
The portal Brazilcartoon supported the Godofredo Guedes’  International Fair of Cartoon /
Brazil with the creation of graphic pieces for disclosure,
but unfortunately the Municipal Secretary of Culture of Montes Claros of the current administration (2004-2008),
did not fulfill the agreement of paying the valuo of the prizes.
Due to the large number of works we have received and the importance of the event,
the Brazilcartoon will realize the fair independent of the support from the Secretary of Culture.

Godofrendo, Godô, as he was kindly named, was born in august 15 on the city Riacho de Santana, Bahia, in 1908.
In 1953 he moved to Montes Claros / MG. He began to dominate the brush before he was 15, in 1923.
His first work was “Nosso Senhor Bom Jesus da Lapa”, made by oil.
As the years went by he became a reference in painting portraits and beautiful landscapes,
North of Minas’ hinterlands scenes.
Godofredo was also an influence to the beginning of advertising in Montes Claros,
producing painted signs to local commerce.
In music he had a most important role in compositions that are nationally known such as “CANTAR”.
which have already been recorded by Milton Nascimento and Paula Toler, as well as his own son,
the singer and composer Beto Guedes.
Godofredo went beyond the mounts, in Minas’ capital, where he collaborated
in the creation of the art market in Belo Horizonte,
in Liberdade Square.The imortal Godofredo have always had painting and music in his blood,
and contributed immensely with the cultural formation of Montes Claros.
He left a valuable inheritance of compositions and paintings, and also created an
instrument, pentacorde, that have and particular sound.
The City Montes Claros, Brazilcartoon’s home, opens the celebrations of Godofredo Guedes’ centenary with several festivities,
in order to retribute to the great cultural collaboration of this talented artist: Godofredo Guedes.M
ontes Claros is located in the north portion of Minas Gerais.
It is an important academic pole and the cultural crib that has already projected great artists in national and
international scene such as the writer Darcy Ribeiro, the illustrator and cartoonist Marcelo Lélis,
