The 10th International Ankara Cartoon Festival will be held on May 7-11, 2004
The primary objective of the Festival is to contribute to the world cartoon
culture and make it possible for cartoonists from different countries to get
acquainted with one another.
This year’s main theme is “Cartoon and Humour”.
Under this title, cartoon in means of humour will be discussed at the symposium
which will also take place during the Festival.
We are expecting especially your articles and cartoons on your own opinions
related to the topic.
The deadline is February 15, 2004.
All the participating cartoons and papers will be collected in a catalogue and
will be published by Cartoon Foundation.
As was done before, the Festival catalogue will be sent to the participants.
We would be glad if you could inform your fellow cartoonists or writers
interested in the subject about the Festival.
In this year’s festival, we will host exhibitions by individual artists or
groups of cartoonists from different countries. Your cartoons will be exhibited
in Turkey and, if possible, in different countries by the Cartoon Foundation.
We thank you for your interest in our activities and wish that it will continue
in the future.
