I'm interested, but its all a little unclear. By "cartoon", are we expected to draw in an exagerrated "cartoony" style, or can we draw whatever way we want? And is a comic page suitable? (i.e. a page of panels, obviously no text)
And is it that only one person from each country gets picked?

EuropaYouth

What you are supposed to do is a page of panels/comic strip. Number of panels is up to you, but it must fit on A4 sheet. Single image is acceptable but a comic strip is preferable. Technique is also up to you.
However you can submit more that one work. In this case each must be send with separate submission form, which can be downloaded from the website.

In National level 3 places will be awarded, but only winner of the first prize will go to Brussels (all expenses paid).

I am happy to answer all other queries you may have.

EuropaYouth

I would like to inform that deadline for submitting cartoon has been postponed to 7th of March. All other dates, like Award Ceremonies, remain unchanged.

[SIZE=-2]Cartoon competitions and festivals have been springing up in every corner of the world. From small exhibitions accommodating 50 artworks to large shows with hundreds--some-times over a thousand--cartoons on display, there is a wide variety of events boosting interest in cartoons and satirical art.

Some of these festivals - the most popular word used for these show/competition combinations - work with substantial capital and a big apparatus; others are operating on a shoestring budget and their exhibition is no bigger than the size of a classroom. The awards also vary. Cash prizes are offered from $200 to $25,000, the average festivals putting up awards worth around a couple of thousand dollars. Some give no awards, but organize symposia for professionals and mount prestigious shows attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors. While some organizations are known for drawing in the public, others are better known for attracting artists and cartoonists.
