The 42nd Italian Championship of Lies Cartoon Contest 2018, Italy
The Italian Championship of Lies was born in 1966. The reasons that led to the creation of this competition are to be found in the traditions of our little village over the Pistoia’s mountains, on the Italian Apennines, when in last century people used to meet in front of a fireplace to tell stories that mixed reality and fictious. The Italian Lie Academy, in occasion of the 42nd Italian Lies championship, declares the graphics section contest dedicated to Lie.
