Africa: No Opportunities, Continent of Crises or Renaissance

Africa’s image largely depends on the extent to which news and background are covered in the media in a diligent and differentiated manner. Africa mainly continues to be perceived as a continent ravaged by disasters, crises and failing states, including extremes such as genocide, civil war and escalating violence (also in every day life), increasing poverty, widespread hunger and malnutrition and exploitation of resources and destruction of nature. The economic deprivation of many Africans has motivated people – among them many celebrities – in the rich industrialised nations to support and donate for development and charitable projects. At the same time, the African „welfare cases“ and neo-patrimonial systems have deterred foreign investors. These conditions are not suitable for a partnership based on equality.

Recently, however, a surprising change of perspective has been offered by development experts: „Africa on the rise“. It has been welcomed that most of the civil wars have been brought to an end, that a growing number of countries are now governed democratically and by the rule of law, that governance is improving and that the economic conditions in most African countries have become more favourable – from macroeconomic policies to increased efforts in the fields of education, health and utilities (e.g. water supply). African projects such as the "New Partnership for Africa‘s Development" (NEPAD) and the Peer Reviews are being acknowledged and appreciated. There has also been a fundamental shift in the conditions for private business activities in Africa. China is not the only new country increasingly investing in Africa. India, Korea and Malaysia are in the process of starting and expanding their activities. This, in turn, has challenged Western governments to strengthen their efforts in order not to be left behind by the emerging powers. In Africa, this has given rise to a new self-confidence.

The cartoon contest under the title „Africa: No Opportunities, Continent of Crises or Renaissance“ is meant to contribute to a critical discussion of these ambiguous images which partly date back as far as the early years of colonialism and the times of the slave trade. We therefore invite you to contribute your highly appreciated creative ideas to overcome prejudices and clichés about the African continent.

It is safe to assume that many of the cartoons sent in will find their way into the print media, especially into daily newspapers, since Africa is increasingly being covered. The image of Africa is also an important subject in development education.

We would like to ask you to kindly submit cartoons for the contest by 26th August to:

info@cartoon-competition.org and dwjn@cartoon-competition.org

The cartoon contest is being supported by the German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), Novartis Foundation for Sustainable Development (Switzerland), the protestant development agencies Bread For All (Switzerland) and German Church Development Service, the Swiss Catholic Lenten Fund and Misereor (Germany) as well as Dritte Welt Journalist/innen Netz (Third World Journalists’ Network, Germany). We are seeking cooperation with one of the influential daily newspapers. The contest builds on the experiences from previous contests in 2000, 2003 and 2005.

If you participate in the contest…

After 26^th August 2007 (deadline for submissions), the cartoons will be screened by an international jury.

We are happy to welcome prominent members to our expert jury this year, such as Nobel Peace Prize laureate Prof. Wangari Maathai (Kenya) and Erich Stather, Minister of State, German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development.

The awards are to be handed over to the winners of the contest at a ceremony planned as highlight of an event to be organised in Berlin.

The organisers of the contest will encourage the reprinting of cartoons in print and online media. We will bring out a special publication and will present the cartoons in the contest website www.cartoon-competition.org and other relevant websites.

ST JUST LE MARTEL…26 years old!

SALON INTERNATIONAL DE LA CARICATURE

DU DESSIN DE PRESSE ET D’HUMOUR

28 SEPTEMBER – 7 OCTOBER 2007

May 28^th, 2007

Hello,

In a few weeks, St Just-le-Martel is celebrating the 26^th anniversary of the SALON INTERNATIONAL DE LA CARICATURE, DU DESSIN DE PRESSE ET D’HUMOUR.

Architects are working on the conception of the future CENTRE INTERNATIONAL DE LA CARICATURE, DU DESSIN DE PRESSE et D’HUMOUR : plans and a model of this exceptional equipment will be presented during the next SALON.

Indeed, 25 years later, owing to the first steps of ignorant but enthusiastic “neophytes”, owing to their tenacity and to the constant support the profession; also owing to the financial grants of respectively the State, the Limousin Region, the Haute Vienne Department and St Just-le-Martel village, this project is about to materialize.

Naturally, we will have the opportunity to talk about it with you during the next Salon, asking for support, advice and suggestions…

In the meantime, we have carried on with our activities, multiplying exhibitions, in France and abroad, particularly with “Cartooning for Peace” that took us from New York to Brussels via Geneva and Paris in collaboration with the United Nations.

But for the moment, we have to conduct simultaneously all those activities and this new challenge of preparing the next SALON…

For the 26th time (!) the «SALON INTERNATIONAL de la CARICATURE, du DESSIN de PRESSE ET d'HUMOUR » is being prepared at St Just-le-Martel… Thus proving its vitality, the enthusiastic tenacity of the organisers, and the friendly trust of the whole profession.

St Just Festival is today the most ancient, without any doubt the most important of all manifestations dedicated to press and humour cartoons certainly in France and probably in Europe… The seriousness, the professionalism (at best meaning of the word), the quality of its associative engagement are unanimously recognized…

For the 26th edition, we obviously need your support and participation, your presence through drawings of course but also "personally", even if it should only be for a short visit between 28 September and 7 October.

The 2007 edition is conceived around expression “Hotting up” with all possible significance:

 “Hotting up” in the literal sense of climatic changes:

(drawings about the environment, the protection of the planet greenhouse effect, recycling, energy control, etc…)

“Hotting up” in the figurative sense of “ burning “ situations:

(tense, difficult, agitated, urgent situations…Conflicts, keen competitions, in all international relations…)

“Hotting up»: The presidential election, French politics since the election…

caricatures of the candidates…caricatures of the face-to-face SARKOZY/ROYAL.

“Hotting up” in all human activities:

sport competitions, music, concerts and Show biz…

The 26^th SALON will obviously open the usual rubrics:

– story pages, “ Europe, 50 years ago…”

– eisure pages, drawing-games and riddles…

– hildren and young public pages .

– butes and highlights on special works…

It will show highlights, too, on news about press drawings in other countries, especially Lebanon, Quebec (400 years old), Switzerland and their views on France…

It will present all the cartoons drawn during the year for the United Nations exhibition

“Cartooning for peace”.

This exhibition will be the context of a conference around the role and place of press cartoons in our so-called “information” society, also in the globe sectors that are torn and oppressed by conflicts.

You can either choose one or the other column, or send us drawings (12 to 15, size A4) about all the themes mentioned above.

It would be ideal if we could receive them before the end of August.

The works are insured, presented with great care and of course sent back as quickly as possible after the manifestation.

As far as your coming to St Just is concerned, on either weekend (the last one in September or the first one in October), could you please let us know in good time of your participation. Since it is “Hotting up” the earlier, the better…

There again, your travelling expenses to and fro St Just-le-Martel on French territory, based on the SNCF rate, and your accommodation are taken care of by the organisers like last year.

We are looking forward to hearing from you shortly. Let us insist on how particularly important your participation is for the actual realisation, proof of your attachment and support.

Best wishes,

Most sincerely,

For the Salon, The President:

Gérard VANDENBROUCKE.

P.S. St Just website (www.st-just.com) is visited quite regularly

(between 200 000 & 350 000 connexions per month, from all over the world).

We continue to issue a database about caricatures and press cartoons (Biographies, bibliographies, educational documents, recent publications etc…)

We can only expand this site by adding at any time any information that you wish to see appearing. Just send us the necessary information.
