Deadline: 17 April 2011
One image can...
communicate more than dozens of pages of text or hours of speeches. One image can change the course of history. Editorial cartoons draw attention to important political, economic, and social issues like nothing else. Using symbols or visual metaphors, their reach transcends country borders and language barriers.
The Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE) invites you to share creative ways of capturing key issues affecting the development of your country.
There are no restrictions on who can participate in this competition – it is open to participants of all ages, professional and amateur cartoonists. Participants may submit cartoons in all three categories and a maximum of two cartoons per each category. Submissions must be original, unpublished work.
Maximum file size:
Hard-copy versions: A4 (210 X 297 mm ) or A3 (297 X 410 mm) and Letter (216 × 279 mm)
Digital versions: Minimum resolution of 300 dpi and dimensions of 600 pixels wide and 400 pixels high (must be suitable for printing).
* Submissions may include different sizes of cartoons – single panel, a strip, or a two-tier strip.
* You may include text in the cartoon or in a caption in English as well as Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian, or Spanish, but English translation must be provided.
By participating in this competition you allow CIPE the right to publish your submissions online and in print. CIPE will provide proper credit to the authors. This use includes, but is not limited to www.cipe.org website, the CIPE Development Blog, CIPE’s social media tools, and other publications and resources.
